Newcastle United make a trip to West London for the mid-table Premier League clash against Chelsea. Only two points separate each other in the top-flight table.
The Blues are coming off a stunning win in the Conference League while Newcastle suffered a league defeat against Brighton. Sitting at the sixth in the table, Chelsea face struggling Newcastle to eye three points. Enzo Maresca’s side enters the home game with a 4-1 over Panathinaikos in the Conference League.
Newcastle have to find a winning direction in the Premier League. The Magpies are winless in the last four games and dropped to ninth spot.
Eddie Howe’s side have lost only one game out of the last four against Chelsea. Newcastle had the upper hand against the Blues in the last two seasons. Victory on Sunday may open the door for Newcastle as they will meet Chelsea again in the EFL Cup three days later.

Chelsea vs. Newcastle lineups, team news
Chelsea now has all players fit for Sunday’s match, with Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana returning from domestic bans while Reece James made his return from a recent hamstring injury during the loss to Liverpool, surprisingly earning a starting position.
Cucurella was one of as many as 11 changes in Chelsea’s lineup on Thursday night, and Enzo Maresca is likely to make further adjustments again. Joao Felix has put himself in contention for a starting spot over Jadon Sancho after bagging a brace in midweek.
Star playmaker Cole Palmer didn’t have his best performance against Liverpool, but he has an impressive record, averaging a goal or assist every 63 minutes at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. He will be the creative force, with Nicolas Jackson spearheading the attack.
Chelsea predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Sanchez (GK) — James, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella — Caicedo, Lavia — Madueke, Palmer, Sancho — Jackson.
