Newcastle continue a very difficult stretch with a clash at Stamford Bridge. The Magpies are coming off a very disappointing 1-0 defeat against Brighton at St. James’ Park. Now the terrain gets much more difficult.
It’s back to back matches against the Blues, who come to Newcastle for the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Then it’s Arsenal at home to finish off a potentially revealing week.
Eddie Howe has been forced into changes for today’s critical fixture with Anthony Gordon out injured. Here is today’s team which has two changes from last Saturday’s defeat.

Newcastle are in the bottom half of the table and in desperate need of a result. The Magpies just haven’t gotten fully going this term and a poor summer window may be a partial culprit.
Change can be swift in the Premier League and today holds a possibility for redemption against a Jekyll and Hyde Chelsea side. Hopefully, its Newcastle’s day with three points and a corner turned.
Howay The Lads!

Comment #892If the game tonight finishes all square, does it go to extra-time, or straight to penalties folks?

Comment #894Looks like a change of formation from what I can tell.
Doubtful that Joelinton would be pulled out of midfield where he is so effective. Although possible. Unless Willock is playing on the right of a forward 3.
I’m going with an experimental formation change.

Comment #898Magscar – thanks for that link. I think Rod Argent is going to make a come back next month at St Albans Festival. When we saw the Zombies in Whitley Bay they were great.
For a bloke who is nearly 80 – how Argent keeps going is incredible.
I’m now “thrashing” all Marmalade songs. they were also incredible.

Comment #900Itâs going to be interesting to see how Tonali plays without Bruno in the starting line up.

Comment #902Didnât get to watch the game (it was on bein here which I have boycotted). Looking at the stats Chelsea appear to have dominated, but as Jack Newton the golfer used to say on your scorecard you donât have to put âhowâ just âhow manyâ. Bruno could be in the shop window, you never know.
