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.

      I hope so too, but i seriously doubt it, my luck has been bad this season, players in too early in many cases for example. I got in Ade (had Torres in that slot until i thought better of it! Doh!) and gave him the armband, too much to ask that he'll do well. Quite likely spurs will continue in the same vein as their last few gameweeks.

    Had planned all week to bring in Terry for Kompany for a hit, and play him over Verm, and I chickened out of it, and cursing myself for it now. By the end of the GW I could've been at least 4 points better off, and most likely much more if Chelsea keep CSs today and v Newcastle. FPL is a cruel mistress, kicking myself now.

    Oh well, at least I captained Jelavic, and I have a good feeling about my other transfer VDV too.

    Didn't put anything on either of the PaddyPower specials today, Chelsea evens to win and Hooper to score anytime at 2/1 (for Celtic(he scored))

    I hope they have a good spurs offer!

      You were asking about Hooper being a good bet earlier and quite a few of us said yes. Why did you not bet on it?

        I just chickened out at the last minute, had £20 on the betslip then thought its crazy to bet on someone I've never seen play. I should have trusted you 🙁

    This gameweek I have moved down a massive total of 3 places overall. Feel I may lose another place after this chelsea game.

    RDM's contract ends in the summer, anyone think that he will stay if the romans get a new coach?

      If he wins the UCL, no owner would ever kick him out.

      RDM should be able to write his own ticket. Looking like a genius right now.
