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.

    Should have played Mignolet over Sorensen, and Dempsey is my VC, hope Rooney doesn't play tomorrow. But can't complain. 33 with Evans, Enrique, Silva, RVP & Rooney (c) to go.

      morison looked lively with holt which should bode well against lesser teams.

      Torres, really needs a goal to clam down. 1 decent save from ruddy and then missed a sitter second half which started him falling over the ball and his own feet several times.

      Chelsea's midfield look short of ideas, other than mata they look lacklustre.

    I don't normally say this, but 5 pts from 6 played for my wife's team (Krul, Baines, Huth, Walters, Drenthe, Bendtner), its almost physically impossible to beat that!! Check Shelley team in my mini league if you don't beleive me. Anybody care to challenge me? She's miles ahead of me, by dempsey and see will help me catch up!!

Walters 0points, and i was just about to got Sess 🙁 McClean is my first sub, but doubt he will be replacing anyone and I was going to bench Bale for him
