Confirmed Newcastle team v Chelsea – Almiron, Barnes, Isak all start | OneFootball

The confirmed Newcastle team v Chelsea has now been announced.

Newcastle United knowing that victory today would take them above today’s hosts.

A massive few days against Chelsea, with the League Cup clash on Wednesday at St James’ Park to follow.

A win today would give Newcastle United massive confidence and hopefully momentum for Wednesday and then Arsenal next Saturday. A draw today wouldn’t be the worst result either.

Newcastle United team v Chelsea:

Pope, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall, Joelinton, Bruno, Tonali, Barnes, Isak, Almiron

So two changes….

Barnes and Almiron replace Gordon and Jacob Murphy.

Subs:

Vlachodimos, Willock, Ruddy, Osula, Miley, Kelly, Krafth, Jacob Murphy, Longstaff

Anthony Gordon missing from the squad with a ‘groin issue’ today.
