Dugout Discussion

24 March 2012 3780 comments

Akers

A pivotal Premier League game kicks off Gameweek 30, with Champions League qualification on the line. The Dugout Discussion opens as 5th placed Chelsea host 4th placed Tottenham. A rare win for the visitors today (no win at Stamford Bridge since 1990) would not only stop the rot, but also go a long way to sealing their berth in Europe’s elite competition. The team sheets from Stamford Bridge are in, and are as follows…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Mata, Sturridge, Drogba.
Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto, Modric, Parker, Sandro, Bale, Van der Vaart, Adebayor.

A host of changes for Chelsea sees Branislav Ivanovic, David Luiz, Raul Meireles and Fernando Torres all dropped to the bench. In come Jose Bosingwa, captain John Terry, Daniel Sturridge and Didier Drogba.

Harry Redknapp is boosted by the return of Emmanuel Adebayor, who starts with Rafael Van der Vaart at the expense of Louis Saha. Elsewhere, William Gallas and Sandro replace Ledley King (not in squad) and Niko Kranjcar.

Following that we’ve got another seven games to pour over, finishing at the Britannia Stadium where Manchester City will be looking to go back to the summit of the league, if only for one night.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom will stay open throughout the day, and can be accessed right here.

Haven't had any real success with captains since RVP's hattrick. Captained him today and I'm sure he'll get a 4 pointed while Rooney will score a hattrick.

  Haha could be a proper stinker. I (c) Rooney but there is no need to be smug about it. I almost went with RVP at the last minute that's how close it is.
  
  I have Holt happiness and heartache today. Does he still merit bps after being sent off?

  I don't think it was THAT optimistic (did the same). Everton have struggled to score goals away from home. But yeah expecting 4 CSs in a row (or is it 3) is probably a little optimistic. But yeah it sucks b*lls!
