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.

    this weird GW is playing havoc with my wc plans, especially the decision to exclude Dempsey

    Am tempted by a heavy mid and cheap strikers (Morison, RvP and Zamora) Paying the price for poor team value

      Well it depends who your cheap strikers are. RVP + 2 decent cheap strikers would do ok.

    Silva > Dempsey done... lose 0.2 on Silva, but reckon Demspey prices rises could easily wipe that out. Silva will be back in my GW24 WC.

    its a shame where I live I have to hear names like Tim Tebow and LeBron James all day long, yet 95% of these "sports fans" have no idea who Clint Dempsey is, even the ones who are familiar with Donovan and Howard.

        Tim Tebow is this annoying Bible-beating (yeah I know) quarterback for the Denver Broncos who isn't really a great passer but is known to be a winner in college. He's had a decent run pulling wins together and making a Ned Flanders-type ass out of himself.
