Team News

Chelsea
Newcastle
  • Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella have served their respective bans, meaning Omari Kellyman is Chelsea's only confirmed absentee.
  • Martin Dubravka will be assessed, but Callum Wilson has suffered a setback and misses out.
  • Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are long-term absentees, while Kieran Trippier is still a couple of weeks away from returning.

Prediction

  • Chelsea responded to their 2-1 loss at Liverpool with a resounding 4-1 win at Panathinaikos on Thursday night. The Blues have failed to win back-to-back league games, however.
  • Newcastle's only win in their last five was a EFL Cup home success over lower league opposition Wimbledon. They have failed to win any of their last 14 trips to Stamford Bridge.
  • The west London side should feel confident of getting back to winning ways in the league against this out-of-form Newcastle side.
