A trio of three o’clock showdowns continue Saturday’s proceedings before we drop in on Stamford Bridge for the evening encounter.

Palace host Southampton at Selhurst Park, with the likes of Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert hoping to spoil the hosts’ clean sheet. Norwich entertain Stoke at Carrow Road – Robert Snodgrass will carry the Canaries’ attacking threat as John Ruddy and his defence attempt to register a fifth successive shut-out in front of their own fans. Finally, the bottom two go head-to-head in Wales, as Cardiff and Fulham attempt to clamber out of the drop zone.

Those matches lead us up nicely to the concluding match of the Gameweek, where league leaders Chelsea entertain Spurs at the Bridge. Leader of this week’s Captain Poll, Eden Hazard, carries the armband hopes of many as Jose Mourinho’s side look for a win that would stretch their lead at the summit to seven points.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for news of today’s teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will accompany you through today’s matches right through until the last kick at the Bridge.

    Mourinho is truly an excellent manager. He's really got Chelsea to play an entertaining and exciting brand of soccer that is riveting to watch. I always find myself deeply engrossed in Chelsea's matches. Unlike that Arsenal. Pass, pass, pass. Oh bore off will ya.

    My last 3 free transfers have been a complete waste.
    2 weeks ago got Adebayor - 2 and a half games so far - 8 points return
    Last week got M Olsson - 2 games and 2 points
    This week got Lambert 2 points

    Lets hope my DGW transfers are better ones

    I remember him saying that he brought in Caulker for a hit.

      I don't understand how people get goals from defender punts.

      Take your typical defender

        After losing to Cardiff this week I think there is no chance left for them to come back to saftey

        Magath will quit after the season imo
