In-form Newcastle United take on Chelsea in the first of two Saturday evening matches in the Premier League.

Kick-off on Tyneside is at 17:30 GMT.

There is some notable team news on either side at St James’ Park.

Callum Wilson is only fit enough for substitute duty after suffering from an illness over the last fortnight, so Chris Wood starts up top for the Magpies.

Eddie Howe’s other alteration sees Joelinton, who returns from suspension, replace Jacob Murphy in the front three.

The big omission in the Chelsea squad is Raheem Sterling, who has reportedly been suffering from migraines this week and was unable to travel.

Graham Potter has made five changes from his Gameweek 15 line-up, with Sterling among the names to make way.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kai Havertz, Marc Cucurella and Thiago Silva all drop to the bench as Mateo Kovacic, Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher, Kalidou Koulibaly and Lewis Hall are brought into the starting line-up.

The teenage defender Hall impressed in the EFL Cup on Wednesday and makes his first-ever league appearance this evening.

GAMEWEEK 16 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Botman, Schär, Joelinton, Wood, Almirón, Willock, Burn, Longstaff, Guimarães

Subs: Darlow, Lascelles, Shelvey, Wilson, Saint-Maximin, Targett, Manquillo, Murphy, Anderson

Chelsea XI: Mendy, Jorginho, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Broja, Mount, Gallagher, Koulibaly, Azpilicueta, Hall

Subs: Bettinelli, Silva, Aubameyang, Pulisic, Zakaria, Ziyech, Havertz, Cucurella, Hutchinson

    Callum Wilson has been a catastrophic transfer for me. I was never convinced. Toney a vastly superior option.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years

      Obviously you were convinced.

      1. meenabakery

        Maybe you were, sunshine.

    2. AzzaroMax99

      Had both untill Toney got susp. Brought me some nice points for a few weeks. Unfortunately missed to buy back Toney for this game :-/

    Havertz is a tough dude. Starts a row then hides behind his mates.

      Nosferatu-lookin’ punk, he is

      Why tf would anyone? Chelsea are playing awful defensive football from the beginning of the game.. Burnley would be proud of them.

    2. Zimo

      I want them to win the league. Don't like City or Arsenal

      1. Thanos

        3 years, 3 months ago

        Agree mate. It was wonderful when Leicester had won few years back and would be great to see a non big six winning the league. So much more excitement!!

          With money from murdering Yemen people No thank you. I'll take Arsenal every day over that.

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I don't think that's where they got their money but I take your point

              Check with Amnesty International. They will cobfirm they have made a lot of money with investing in the illegal war crimes in Yemen 2015 and onwards. The income is enormous

      2. banskt

        Arsenal already won the league.

        1. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Rarely does a team lose a 5 point advantage after Christmas.

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah I know, but arsenal...

          2. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Think u should check Arsenal's stats first

            1. Zimo
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              They've bottled it so many times I can't even count

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    Potter in trouble. Magic wand broke

  5. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone has a clue about the price changes tonight? Fpl statistics seems off since it calculates transfers after the deadline as well

  6. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Summerville nailed ? Cheers.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Must be now!

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Well done to owners! (Who didn't bench 😉 )

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. When this form continues and Bamford struggles for fitness.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He's playing in Sinisterra's spot, so not really

    4. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm getting him as a fifth mid.

      1. sulldaddy
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I did too, but man city next match

  7. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    31(-4) with Saka, Tross and Dunk to go. It could be better, it could be worse. This pause is the best thing right now

  8. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pope England no1?

  9. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    This season it's so difficult to climb the ranks.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, but falling is easy. Lost 2 million OR in 3 weeks.

  10. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Almiron Zero bouns 🙁

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Justice

  11. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would u get Robbo & Martinez instead of Cancelo & Guéhi ??

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No.

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't get Martinez. Robertson may be good.

  12. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Salah blank and Almiron gets assist from nothing. Sums up this season.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He didn't get an assist from nothing.

  13. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Mr O'Connell so bitter. Dry your eyes mate 😥

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Something we’re going to have to get used to as Newcastle fans mate. A lot of people just hate the most successful - I had years of it as Utd fan through the 90’s. The media will be particularly bad.

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Wait, what? 😆

        A Utd fan in the 90s

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Got nothing against Newcastle. Good to see North East football thriving once again if you ask me.

  14. NotsoSpursy
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus looks like scoring

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      All will be dissalowed

  15. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I found putting a WC team together pretty straightforward. It feels like we’ll all have the same players again?

  16. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    LAST PRICE CHANGE UNTIL LATE DECEMBER??

    no need to look at FPL team for 1.5 months .. fantastic news ..

    Happy World Cup everyone!

    supporting England as always (from Euro 2004) ..

    predicting Brazil / Germany to WIN it.
