Goal Scorer:
Newcastle
Newcastle's lengthy injury list includes Sven Botman (knee), Callum Wilson, Matt Targett (both hamstring), Dan Burn, Elliot Anderson (both back), Harvey Barnes (foot), Jacob Murphy (shoulder) and Javi Manquillo (groin), while Sandro Tonali is suspended and Lewis Hall is ineligible to face his parent club Chelsea.
Alexander Isak (groin) and Sean Longstaff (ankle) are both doubtful, but Miguel Almiron (thigh) and Fabian Schar (hamstring) are fit to return this weekend, while Bruno Guimaraes is available after serving a one-match ban last time out.
Kieran Trippier withdrew from England duty earlier this week for personal reasons, but the defender – who has started every Premier League game for Newcastle since the start of last season – is available to play on Saturday, potentially joining Schar, Jamaal Lascelles and ex-Chelsea man Valentino Livramento in the back four.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Pope; Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Livramento; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Almiron, Gordon, Joelinton
Chelsea
As for Chelsea, Ben Chilwell (hamstring), Wesley Fofana, Carney Chukwuemeka (both knee) and Trevoh Chalobah (thigh) all remain sidelined with injuries, while Saturday's game will come too soon for Christopher Nkunku (knee) and Romeo Lavia (ankle) even though the duo returned to training this week.
Levi Colwill (shoulder) and Malo Gusto (knee) have also taken part in training, and while the former is fit to return to the matchday squad, the latter will be assessed ahead of kickoff; Conor Gallagher, meanwhile, should have shaken off an ankle knock come Saturday to start in midfield alongside Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling have all scored in two of Chelsea's last three games, and the attacking trio are all set to retain their places in the front three, although Mykhaylo Mudryk will be hoping to force his way back into the first XI.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; James, Disasi, Silva, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo, Gallagher; Palmer, Jackson, Sterling
Prediction: Newcastle United 1-1 Chelsea
