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.

        Was listening to Matty Etherington on Talksport during the week he staked £250k one time that is pretty sick! Biggest sports bet I ever heard laid by a bookie was £400k on a horse.

            Both won. £400k was from a billionaire (and owner of the horse) winning or losing a couple of million wasn't going to change his life at all. There was one bet I always remember Roddick hadn't lost a single set through to the semi's of some tournament and a big bettor stuck £90k on at 2/9 for him to win the next set. He lost! I seem to remember he went on to win the tourney and only dropped two sets in total pretty unlucky!! If you want super big gambling have a look at the poker scene in Macau right now that is insane money when things get really big your looking at there being about £6m-£7m on the table between 9 players but again they are all mega-rich and dropping £10m doesn't really bother them.

          Yeah that's not pretty reading, still he was under him at Schalke and was translating for him during the game. Seemed like part of his plans. Maybe today's goal will change Magath's mind.
