Chelsea's Reece James is expected to remain absent with the muscular issue that caused him to miss the win over Norwich.
Christian Pulisic missed that game with illness and captain Cesar Azpilicueta was withdrawn at half-time because of stomach problems.
Newcastle's Joelinton and Allan Saint-Maximin are set to again miss out due to injury and illness respectively.
Fabian Schar is a doubt after he went off on Thursday with a groin problem.

Newcastle have got some breathing space above the bottom three because of their run of results in the past few weeks but I don't see Eddie Howe letting his side take their foot off the pedal.
