Fixture: Newcastle United vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has named his squad that will take on Newcastle United in the final game of the Premier League season later this afternoon at St. James’ Park.

Conte has gone with his favoured system of a deploying a back-three with Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Gary Cahill forming the defensive line in front of Thibaut Courtois.




Victor Moses and Emerson Palmieri have been deployed as the wing-backs, with a midfield three of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Ross Barkely and N’Golo Kante expected to control the proceedings from the middle of the park. Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud will be playing up front. Alvaro Morata, Willian and Pedro are some of the attacking options left on the bench.

Chelsea will need to ensure that they hold up their end of the bargain by getting three points and hope Liverpool suffer a shock loss at home to Brighton to sneak into the top four.
