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.

    Drenthe was so gone from my WC team at about 1pm GMT today.

    Biggest waste of space this season. This year's Zigic I'm afraid.

How can Newcastle go from 1-0 up to 4-1 down?????!!!!! Almost my entire team wrecked in seconds!!! At least they won't bring on Ryan Taylor (my captain) with 5 minutes to go and then my vice captain Sessenguson will make up for the lost points.......AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! WHY WOULD YOU BRING ON RYAN TAYLOR WITH FOUR MINUTES TO GO?!??!?!??!? I've gone from 47 points to 20 points with only 3 players left to play! D:
