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.

    WelI was expecting nothing from my defence this week - and in that I haven't been disappointed (currently on 2 points from 4 players ... ). Only wish I'd captained Dempsey - well done to those who did!

      Unlucky. I didn't get any price risers really from my WC but it's not all about value - it's about points - and I did bring in Dempsey, Sessegnon, McCLean and Mignolet. So I'm pretty pleased despite lack of increasing team value.

        I swear, if i had kept him in and benched valencia which is what i initially did, he would have got zero or a minus! That's the luck i have been getting lately! Who'd have predicted that result tho? And to compound things, i took the armband off him and gave it to rooney!
