Chelsea welcome Newcastle to Stamford Bridge in one of four Premier League games on Sunday.
The Blues breezed past Panathinaikos in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, making it two wins out of two in the competition.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have had a full week of rest and will be up to the challenge following their loss to Brighton last time out.
A win will keep Enzo Maresca’s side within touching distance of the leaders, while the Magpies need to win to keep pace with their opponents.
Read on to discover how both teams line-up in West London.

Chelsea can essentially field a Premier League squad and a separate squad for Europe, so there have been plenty of changes since midweek.
Robert Sanchez is back in goal, with Malo Gusto at left-back alongside Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana and Reece James.
Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo will protect the midfield for the Blues.
Pedro Neto gets the nod once again, as does Noni Madueke and the brilliant Cole Palmer.
Nicolas Jackson – who is in great form – starts up top for Chelsea.

Newcastle have a pretty consistent team under Eddie Howe, although they do still have a few injuries.
Nick Pope is in goal, with Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn and Lewis Hall lining up at the back.
A three of Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton command the midfield.
Miguel Almiron and Harvey Barnes occupy the wide areas.
And Alexander Isak leads the line for the away side.
