With the rest of the footballing world tuning in to the occasion at the Nou Camp tonight, the Dugout Discussion opens with it’s eyes firmly fixed on the remaining fixture from double Gameweek 35. It’s not glamorous, it’s Aston Villa versus Bolton Wanderers in a relegation scrap. The team news is in…

Villa XI: Given, Hutton, Cuellar, Baker, Lichaj, Albrighton, Herd, Warnock, N’Zogbia, Heskey, Weimann.

Bolton XI: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Ryo, Reo-Coker, M Davies, Petrov, Eagles, Ngog.

Gabriel Agbonlahor misses out due to injury for Alex McCleish’s side, whilst David Ngog is recalled in place of Kevin Davies for the struggling visitors.

The Dugout Discussion is open and can be accessed right here, with Champions League chat still permitted.

    All respect to Di Matteo though right? Who would have thought he would take Chelsea to a Champion's League Final??

    Why not just keep him? He is obviously doing something right!!!

        I am also impressed by his calm demeanor on the sidelines. He just looks so confident throughout the match. Only celebrations I saw was when Torres sealed it.

        Top marks for him and nice shuffling at the back. Did everything right that game, even though they were boring:D

      it has been shown before, deny Barca space to move the ball within 20 yards of goal and they have no clue, they only know how to play 1 way,

      Arsenal were unlucky and would have beaten them is Bendy wasn't crap.

      Fergie is clueless in Europe. It was Carlos Quieroz who was the brains behind our success, we got lucky last year.

    All I can say is well done to Chelsea. I think on their day Barcelona are a better team but there's no arguing that they have been poor lately. Messi should be very disappointed. You can try and use Chelsea's defending tactic as an excuse for making it "boring" or "unplayable" but that's rubbish, Barcelona should have been a lot better with their possession and play. The one thing I'm delighted over, Torres scoring that goal. That has really relieved the disappointment to some extent because I think the lad needed a goal like that in a competition as big as this. Really am delighted for him. Well done Chelsea!

      Most the active teams I've seen are pretty much the same anyway.
