Gameweek 22 gets under way at Carrow Road, as Premier League new-boys host Andre Villas-Boas’ Chelsea. It’s the first of eight games today, concluding at the Reebok with Bolton Wanderers against Liverpool. The Dugout Discussion chatroom will be open throughout. The team news for the early game is in…

Norwich XI: Ruddy, Martin, Whitbread, Ayala, Naughton, Fox, Johnson, Pilkington, Surman, Morison, Holt.

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Meireles, Lampard, Sturridge, Torres, Mata.

Grant Holt and David Fox come in for the high-flying Canaries, with Simeon Jackson and Wes Hoolahan making way.

There’s no debut for new signing Gary Cahill, who isn’t even on the bench, so David Luiz partners John Terry in the centre of defence once again.

With the other four of the top five facing off against each other in tomorrow’s truly Super Sunday, Chelsea have a lot to gain with a victory against in-form Norwich.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    Lots of teams going for Torres this GW. Even worse... Captaining him. The problems I have in understanding this is...
    1. He's too expensive
    2. No way is he (c) material for his points return
    3. His job role does have a general requirement to hit the back of the onion bag from time to time

    But, we'll see, not hopeful though

      Why anyone would captain Torres makes no sense to me anymore anyway. I captained him 2 or 3 times at the beginning of the season when otherwise i'd have had Rooney in my team. Missed out on like 50 points. Bleh.

      Same with Suarez, captained him in "easy" home games against the likes of Norwich when otherwise i'd have had Adebayor in my team when he was scoring braces.

      He just gets further and further away from the goal. If he goes hiding it means he doesn't have to deal with missing chances. The guys has lost his confidence massively.
