Fixture: Chelsea vs Newcastle United
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has named his matchday squad that will take on Newcastle United in a Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge this evening.
Sarri has again gone with the tried and tested back-four of Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, David Luiz and Marcos Alonso. Jorginho will play as the deep-lying schemer with N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic in the middle of the park.
Eden Hazard will lead the line for Chelsea today with Pedro and Willian providing pace and creativity from the wide areas. Callum Hudson-Odoi is back on the bench after starting in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg against Tottenham in midweek and he will have the likes, Andreas Christensen, Ross Barkley, Olivier Giroud and Ethan Ampadu for some company in the dugout.
Chelsea drew their last home league game against Southampton and will be looking to get back to winning ways when they host Newcastle United today.
