Newcastle v Chelsea team news

Newcastle: Callum Wilson suffered a thigh injury last time out for Toon and is rated doubtful for this game, while Ryan Fraser and Paul Dummett are expected to miss out.

Jonjo Shelvey, Martin Dubravka and Dwight Gayle are all scheduled to return to the side in December. Matt Ritchie is unlikely to feature.

Chelsea: Kai Havertz tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month and is expected to sit out here. Christian Pulisic has a thigh injury and isn’t likely to return until December.

Lampard could opt for the same front three that demolished Sheffield United last time out, with Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech playing either side of Tammy Abraham.

Our prediction: Newcastle v Chelsea

Chelsea have hit a rich seam of form in recent weeks, with goals aplenty being scored at the right end. Meanwhile, defensively they look assured with Edouard Mendy excelling between the sticks.

And with Newcastle likely missing star forward Wilson, it’s hard to see how the Toon maintain the pressure on their opponents over 90 minutes.

This should be a close game but Chelsea are likely to edge it, perhaps through the boot of Abraham.

Our prediction: Newcastle 1-2 Chelsea
