Chelsea XI vs Newcastle: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League | OneFootball

Blues could make wholesale changes after midweek win

Enzo Maresca will have the option of changing his entire Chelsea XI when Newcastle visit Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this weekend.

Maresca will have Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella available after they missed the 2-1 loss at Anfield through suspension. Cucurella, however, played 90 minutes against Panathanikos and Malo Gusto could yet keep his place at left-back.

Reece James is also available after coming through his comeback at Liverpool unscathed.

Perhaps Maresca’s biggest decisions come in central midfield, where Enzo Fernandez will be hoping to dislodge Romeo Lavia, and on the left-wing.

Jadon Sancho has been first-choice in that position in recent weeks, but was hooked at half-time against Liverpool and the likes of Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Pedro Neto all either scored or assisted in the win in Greece.

Chelsea predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Gusto; Caicedo, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson

Injured: Kellyman

Doubts: None
