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.

    Congratulations to everyone who had the balls to bring in risky DGW punts, especially for hits/FPL favourites... Jelly, Torres, Suarez, VDV, Pienaar, Mata, Terry, Johnson and Walker to name a few.

    It seems so obvious in hindsight, but it's been a funny season and players that 'should' have had great scoring gameweeks have failed to deliver on so many occasions.

    Looks like my conservative approach has cost me my ML (although it was unlikely I would have caught the leader anyway).

      Jelavic and Pienaar weren't risky punts, Suarez, Torres, Mata were because of likely rotation before fa cup game.

    rough week so far. captained Cisse and not Jelly, left McClean on the bench, four conceeded by Krul and Caulker and six times players of mine hit the woodwork this weekend. To top it off closest rival brought in and captained Torres.

    39 with Aguerro and Valencia to play tomorrow and seven to play again isn't the end of the world but would have liked and expected more.

    anyone else with VdV and/or Bale, actually excited about the damage they could do to Bolton on Wednesday? It could be brutal. With Arsenal drawing, Newcastle losing and that win today, a win will put them 1 point behind Arsenal. They'll be right up for it.

      Hope Adebayor doesn't play and VDV plays further advanced.

        would be superb, plus no Ade would mean VdV on pens

    Ah, the season's coming to an end. Another fantastic season at the top and the bottom of the table and more surprises surely to come! But once the season is over, there's nothing to watch. I'm completely not interested in the Euro's and pre season will not be broadcasted live on tv. Looks like playing footy with the mates it is then.

        Tbh England are crap. Spain play boring, repetitive footy like Barca and Germany will win. 😉

      Play Euro 2012 fantasy to boost your interest in the games.

      You having a laugh? Football with mates will only end badly, no need to try this 'going outside' lark 😛

      playing footy with mates is better than watching group stages game in euro 2012.

      in fact, playing footy with mates is better than anything which is football related

    Cisse + Ade ->RVP & Rooney for a 4 point hit or just cisse -> RVP/Roonry?
