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.

    My mate had Ses (C) and Dempsey - on 47: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/149346/event-history/22/

    I'm on 34. Thanks Dempsey!

    Any really high scores here?

      4 players, 52 points so far...

      Very hard to predict the rest of the GW, though; Evans, Assou-Ekotto, Valencia, Bale, Nani, Aguero, Van Persie… Will probably end up with a mixed bag there.

    I've had 4 players in action today; Mignolet, Senderos, Sessegon, Dempsey (c).

    I've had worst starts to a gameweek, I guess...

    Well the average will be very low.
    Only 2 teams with clean sheets and those defenders won't have high ownership
    Dempsey is on 9.9% and Sess is on about 13-15%
    Newcastle and Swansea did poor defensively.

    Thoughts on the game:

    - we were great first half, rubbish second. Don't know what happened
    - defence was shocking second half. Williamson was especially poor and santon could have been sent off twice
    - great goal and assist from barfa (my captain LAST week). Did enough to keep his place, which means keep raylor out.
    - thank god I brought in dempsey on my wildcard, to at least give me something to smile about
