THE LOWDOWN
NEWCASTLE
Newcastle find themselves in seventh place heading into the weekend and they will be confident on home turf here given that they have won their last four Premier League games at St. James' Park without conceding a goal.
They were seven games unbeaten in the division until their encounter with Bournemouth before the international break, with Eddie Howe's men well under-par on that occasion as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to the Cherries.
CHELSEA
The international break perhaps came at a bad time for Chelsea as they were showing considerable improvement since their early struggles, so Maurizio Pochettino will hope that his side are still feeling the momentum from their recent results.
The Blues' last outing a was a memorable 4-4 draw with reigning champions Man City in what was a topsy-turvy encounter, culminating in former City asset Cole Palmer securing a late point for the London outfit.
THE TEAM NEWS
NEWCASTLE
The Magpies are beset with injury problems at the moment but Fabian Schar and Miguel Almiron have trained well and should be available barring any setbacks, while the condition of Alexander Isak is unclear.
Lewis Hall is unable to face his parent club, which should pave the way for Tino Livramento to start, while Bruno Guimaraes is at least available following suspension.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Lascelles, Schar, Trippier; Guimaraes, Willock, Joelinton; Almiron, Gordon, Joelinton
UNAVAILABLE: Botman (Injured), Targett (Injured), Manquillo (Injured), Burn (Injured), Hall (Ineligible), Anderson (Injured), Tonali (Suspended), Longstaff (Injured), J. Murphy (Injured), Barnes (Injured), Wilson (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Schar (Injured), Almiron (Injured), Isak (Injured)
CHELSEA
Levi Colwill is available for selection despite his withdrawal from the England squad with a shoulder problem, so he could replace Marc Cucurella at left-back, while Malo Gusto has returned to training and is in contention.
Christopher Nkunku - yet to make his competitive debut for Chelsea - is edging closer but this fixture will come too soon for him.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Sanchez, James, Disasi, Silva, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling; Jackson
UNAVAILABLE: Chalobah (Injured), Fofana (Injured), Chilwell (Injured), Lavia (Injured), Chukwuemeka (Injured), Nkunku (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Gusto (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Newcastle have been excellent at St' James' Park this season, but a lengthy injury list is not helping matters and they could find it tough against a Chelsea side whose confidence levels have improved significantly since Maurizio Pochettino's difficult start to his tenure. Depending on who is available, the hosts could be missing some firepower here, and Chelsea look capable of securing at least a point from this encounter.
BETTING TIP: DRAW
