On the back of a eight goal thriller with reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, Chelsea cross swords with Eddie Howe's Newcastle United in their firstPremier Leaguematch after the international break.
After finishing in the Champions League spot last term, Newcastle United have looked a shadow of themselves domestically this season. With just 20 points from their opening 12 games. The Magpies are in the seventh position and need to get their campaign back on track if they want to seal a ticket to Europe next season as well.
The last two weeks before the international break could arguably be the best weeks a Blues' fan would have seen in a long time. The West London outfit thumped city rivals Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 before producing a magical comeback against Manchester City to steal a point. The Blues are seeded exactly at the equator of the table and Pochettino would be vying to add another win to his kitty with his side showing glimpses of promise before the halt.

With Newcastle United playing in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, the Magpies have been left plagued with numerous injuries in all departments.
Dan Burn is tipped to be sidelined from the fixture because of a back injury while Sven Botman and Matt Targett will join the Englishman in the treatment room because of a knee and hamstring issue respectively.
