Sunday Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion opens this afternoon, hoping for a similar goal glut witnessed in yesterday’s edition. We’ve two games to pour over, with all four clubs with something to play for. Later we’ll be at White Hart Lane where Tottenham continue to chase Champions League qualification against relegation fighting Blackburn. Before that there’s a West London derby at Stamford Bridge, between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Terry, Cole, Mata, Essien, Lampard, Sturridge, Torres, Kalou.

QPR: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo, Mackie, Barton, Derry, Buzsaky, Cisse, Zamora.

As expected, Roberto Di Matteo has tinkered with his line-up ahead of of a huge night in Munich, but somewhat surprisingly there are still starts for the likes of Juan Mata and Frank Lampard.

The visitors name an attacking line-up, with Djibril Cisse partnering Bobby Zamora up front.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open – with moderators will be on hand to resolve any issues – and can be accessed right here.

    15 points behind league leader.
    Have Bale captain.
    Also have VDV.
    At this point I am 1 point behind.
    Walker steps up, Walker scores.
    MFW when I bought in Walker for BAE.
    Feeling like an absolute boss right now.

            And the way Spurs played for 70-odd minutes, Defoe may start the second game.

    Great week for me. 67(-8) with 8 including (c) to play. Very happy. Shame the guy I'm chasing is on 79 and has stretched to 30 points ahead. Need some goals from Jelly in midweek and some real gambles to pay off in 37 and 38.

    as an arsenal, someone reassure me that spurs are still going to struggle in their final three games.. i didnt watch today but heard they were pretty poor

      They dominated but they were pretty toothless going forward.

      I reckon they will drop points against Bolton. We should be able to get 4+ points in our remaining games

      We dominated and played our best style of football. We weren't clinical but probably due to our low confidence. Bolton away is tricky, Villa should be 3 points and Fulham should be a win with nothing for them to play for. Arsenal to draw against West Brom and Spurs get 3rd, COYS

      They were poor. Possession without attempting anything for the majority of the game
