Match day thread: Chelsea v Newcastle (Sat, 5.30pm)
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2019 3:26 pm
Newcastle recommence their Premier League fixtures on Saturday when they visit Stamford Bridge for a 5.30pm kick-off shown live on BT Sport.
NUFC: Ki Sungyueng and Yoshinori Muto are away on international duty at the Asian Cup but Florian Lejeune could be in contention for his first PL appearance of the season after his comeback in the FA Cup.
Jonjo Shelvey and Paul Dummett are both doubtful starters after visiting a specialist in Spain this week - the former for assessment of his ongoing thigh issue, the latter regarding a long-standing hamstring injury.
There are also injury doubts over Mo Diame and Karl Darlow but Federico Fernandez and Ciaran Clark have both trained.
Kenedy cannot play against his parent club.
CFC: Cesc Fabregas looks like he's played his final game for the Blues and is in negotiations to leave the club.
Willian and Callum Hudson-Odoi are both doubtful.
Maurizio Sarri's side have won six and drawn four of their eleven PL home games this season, with only Leicester City taking maximum points, winning 1-0 last month.
Tuesday evening saw Chelsea beaten 0-1 by Spurs in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final.
If you aren't going to Stamford Bridge, The Ware Rooms on Carliol Square in Newcastle have the game live on their big screen TVs with food & drink offers.
The Ware Rooms are at 17 Carliol Square NE1 6UQ - 5 minutes walk from both Monument and Manors Metro.
