LIVE: Newcastle United v Chelsea

  • The return of Aleksandar Mitrovic from a three-match ban should provide the Magpies a boost, and the timing couldn’t be better as Papiss Cisse misses out due to injury. Massadio Haidara is also unavailable for Newcastle, paving the way for Kevin Mbabu to make his Premier League debut. The final change is a tactical one, with Vurnon Anita on in midfield at the expense of Florian Thauvin.
  • Chelsea got back to their winning ways against Arsenal last weekend and it came in the most fitting way – amidst scandal and controversy. It was a typified performance from the Blues, defending soundly and crowding the ref to get an opponent sent off.
