Kante And Azpilicueta To Start, Lukaku And Werner Out: Chelsea’s Predicted XI To Play Newcastle

Four Chelsea players were pictured back in training today, including captain Cesar Azpilicueta, N’Golo Kante, Andreas Christensen and Christian Pulisic.

However, there was still no sign of Romelu Lukaku or Timo Werner suggesting the pair won’t be ready to start against Newcastle tomorrow afternoon.

The Magpies still don’t have a manager, following the sacking of Steve Bruce, but they did get a creditable draw versus Crystal Palace last time out, under the guidance of caretaker Graeme Jones.
