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.

    Bit confused. Supposed HBA assist for Guthrie's goal.. and http://www.premierleague.com say so too. But BBC website says ball was given away by Ruiz and no points updated on FPL? HBA mins have been updated on FPL to 44mins, goal was at 42min....

    Someone please reassure me.

      Hughes stopped him going on loan to Milwall this week to give himself a chance to asses guys like Buszacky.

      Akos did himself no harm at all with that free kick. He's always been capable of that but Taarabt pushed him out of the team last season. I'd say Akos is actually a better free kick taker than Taarabt in all honesty, so the goal he just scored doesn't surprise me.

      More of a case of what took you so long, Akos?
