Blues looking to get back on track in the Premier League
Chelsea are back in Premier League action this weekend when they host Newcastle.
Enzo Maresca was dealt his first league defeat since the opening weekend last time out, falling to a 2-1 loss at Liverpool.
Newcastle, meanwhile, were beaten by Brighton last weekend and have not scored a goal from open play in over a month as an underwhelming start to the season continues for Eddie Howe.

Stamford Bridge in London will host.

The Blues could bring back Nicolas Jackson, Levi Colwill, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana and Moises Caicedo after resting them during the week. Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho and Robert Sanchez all travelled to Athens but are expected to come back into the starting lineup.
Newcastle will hope to welcome back Callum Wilson after recent back and hamstring problems. Kieran Trippier, Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman are all out injured.
While midweek European action won’t have helped the Blues, they look well-placed to a claim an important victory.
