Unchanged in defence from the Liverpool match
GK – Robert Sanchez – The Blues’ keeper has been very up and down so far this season, but is capable of great performances.
LB – Malo Gusto – Marc Cucurella could be in contention for a first team spot, but we have Maresca sticking with Gusto.
CB – Levi Colwill – Colwill gave away a penalty against Liverpool and will be hoping to improve against Newcastle.
CB – Tosin Adarabioyo – He made a poor challenge which could have earnt him a red against Liverpool. But we have Maresca sticking with Adarabioyo.
RB – Reece James – Back to full fitness, James should be consistently in the starting XI as Chelsea’s captain.
