This is the Chelsea confirmed lineup for their Premier League clash with Newcastle as the Blues aim to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool. Enzo Maresca’s charges did win 4-1 against Panathinaikos in the Europa Conference league but that is a competition they’re expected to dominate in.

Chelsea Team News
Robert Sanchez starts in goal with a back four of Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, and Malo Gusto. Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo are the main defensive midfield pairing once again after impressing against Liverpool.
There is one surprising change to the front line with Pedro Neto coming in to play on the left alongside the usual suspects Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke, and Nicolas Jackson.
Filip Jorgensen is on the bench alongside Tosin Adarabioyo, Renato Veiga, Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix, and Christopher Nkunku as midweek starters Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are all left out entirely.
Chelsea Lineup: Sanchez, Gusto, Colwill, Fofana, James, Lavia, Caicedo, Neto, Palmer, Madueke, Jackson
Notable Changes
There are a number of expected changes from the lineup that started on Thursday including the goalkeeper, midfield pairing, and the attacking unit. The main change comes at the heart of defence where Fofana returns after missing the last two matches. Neto gets a place in the attack on the left with Sancho being benched after a poor performance last weekend against the Reds.
The Gusto left-back experiment continues as Cucurella played a lot of minutes on Thursday and could be worked back to full sharpness for the next Premier League outing.
