Team News

Newcastle
Chelsea
  • Anthony Gordon will be assessed for the home side.
  • Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman and Kieran Trippier are absent.
  • Ben Chilwell is a doubt due to illness, but Omari Kellyman is absent for the Blues.

Prediction

  • A 2-1 loss to Chelsea at the weekend means Newcastle have won only one of their last six in all competitions ahead of the welcome of Sunday's opponents.
  • The Blues will hope for a repeat of Sunday's win at St. James' Park in midweek, though Enzo Maresca is expected to make 11 changes to his side here.
  • Even so, Chelsea should feel confident of beating the Magpies for the second time in the space of four days.
