Newcastle take on Chelsea in the big clash of the 3pm kick offs. Eddie Howe’s injury-stricken side hope to close the gap on the top four as they kick off a busy schedule that involves Champions League action during the week.

A 2-0 loss to Bournemouth last time out shocked the system but Howe will be hoping to respond positively and draw on the crowd at St. James’ Park to upset the Blues this afternoon.

For their part, Chelsea are starting to gel under Mauricio Pochettino. That was evident in their 4-4 draw against Man City just before the international break. The London side are starting to click in front of goal with Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling providing the threat up top.

Joelinton wins the ball back on the halfway line, and the space opens up in front of him as he carries it forward. He decides to try his luck from a long way out, but his wild effort sails high into the stands.

OFF THE BAR! Trippier steps up to take the free-kick and whips a pacy shot over the wall. Sanchez is scrambling to the near top corner but can't get a touch as it smashes off the crossbar.

Ugochukwu is scrambling to stop Gordon's run, and clips his heels to stop him. He's the first Chelsea player into the book.

The momentum has just swung back in Chelsea's favour, with the Blues looking to take the lead before the break. Sterling gets the better of Trippier down the right once more but overhits the square cross to Fernandez.

CHANCE! Newcastle get caught playing out from the back as Pope gifts it straight to Gallagher. He chests it down before dragging it away from Livramento. The shot lets him down though as he scuffs it wide of the near post. Relief for Newcastle!

Again, Chelsea look to their left side to create something, and Palmer links up with Sterling before continuing the run. The return pass into the youngster is heavy though, and he can't keep it in play.

Newcastle are keeping Chelsea penned deep in their own half when they do have possession, but they can't get it into the final third at the moment. Almiron is hugging the sideline and Cucurella's tight marking is making it difficult to cross.
