Enzo Maresca will set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The Chelsea head coach could instruct his players to dominate the game and engineer enough clear-cut chances to win this Premier League contest.

Eddie Howe will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and might ask his men to defend their penalty box well before trying to expose the home team’s weaknesses on the counter.

Newcastle United

Callum Wilson (back), Sven Botman (knee), Kieran Trippier (thigh), Jamaal Lascelles (knee) and Martin Dubravka (knee) will be sidelined for this clash due to injuries.

Key Men

Chelsea

Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson will have to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for Chelsea in the final third. The defensive performance of Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill could go a long way in determining the fate of this match.

Newcastle United

Nick Pope can expect a busy afternoon this Sunday, so he has to be at the top of his game if the Magpies are to secure a result. Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon would have to combine well so that they can be a real menace in and around the Chelsea penalty area on the counter.
