The team sheets are in at Stamford Bridge, where Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United take on Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea in today’s 2pm kick-off. Here’s the side we’ve gone with:
STARTING XI: Pope – Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall – Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton – Almiron, Isak, Barnes.
SUBS: Vlachodimos, Willock, Ruddy, Osula, Miley, Kelly, Krafth, Murphy, Longstaff
Howe has made two changes from last Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Brighton. Anthony Gordon (groin) misses out entirely and Jacob Murphy drops to the bench, with Harvey Barnes and Miguel Almiron coming into the side.
Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento start against their former club and it’s the same midfield three, meaning Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock and Lewis Miley remain on the bench.
Callum Wilson misses out once again after being ruled out for our next three games after another injury setback, while Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles remain absent.
Chelsea XI: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Gusto; Lavia, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.
Howay the lads!
