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

    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No? Don't they have 12 combined and he has 11?

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Both got booked

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Bonus

  3. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wilson needs a YC for that dive.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      OMG - 0 FPL points for Wilson

  4. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Newcastle disgracing themselves here. Bordering on assault some of this stuff.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Even the subs cheating now

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Knew they were an unethical club, but this is going too far.

    2. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not exactly news that they’re the rich Burnley

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Like owners, like players...

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Interesting bookings?

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Memory of Havertz blindsiding Burn with an elbow last season is clearly still in the Newcastle players' minds.

  5. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Why on earth Coady is in the England squad ahead of Burn I do not know

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Since you have Pickford there, does it really matter?

  6. DMP
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So, Nunez was the uruguaian Andy Carrol, right?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Silly claims from people who don't watch football (as u can tell I'm a fan)

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He's horrible

  7. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lascelles -1

  8. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lascelles YC without a minute on the board

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Interesting bookings?

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He interfered with a throw in while he wasn't playing

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What happens if you hypothetically had Lascelles in your starting XI in FPL? Would you get the -1, or would he be autosubbed out?

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm. Should be autosubbed I would say.

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Club captain's performance.

  9. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    FT... Tripper and Pope cleanies never in doubt..

  10. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Fight time!

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Interesting bookings?

      Something out of UFC

  11. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Handbags after full time

  12. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Question... Lascelles got booked without playing a minute, if he was in your XI (for whatever reason) would he get auto-subbed out?

  13. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Well done to Newcastle although Chelsea were woeful again

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Agree - Well done Newcastle

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Triple took CS 😀

    Never, ever again!

    Time to ruin Almiron 🙂

  15. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Chelsea FC already melting down.

  16. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lol at Saint-Maximin getting booked and he's not even on the pitch.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It was Lascelles bro

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Oh,, was it Lascelles? Hahaha, punk.

  17. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bahahahahahahaha Havertz.

    Get a grip you skinny pr!ck

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Language Timothy

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Burn wanting to get him back after Havertz cleaned him out with an elbow at Stamford Bridge.

  18. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    The “big 6” really don’t like a threat.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Spat the dummy out

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Brilliant win for Newcastle - big step now can they win a trophy

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          A Wembley appearance looks on the cards for them this season.

          Top 4 might be a stretch and they are riding the crest of the wave atm, but tbh the likes of Liverpool, United and Spurs hardly setting the league alight. As for Chelsea, they'd be lucky to get top half at this point.

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Up to 50 points yay

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I will struggle to get over 40 🙂

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        One of those weeks

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      48 points with Saliba, Saka, Martinelli and Trossard to go...

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nice!

  20. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Trippier 2 bonus

    He's immortal!

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Now turning into a disgusting club on the pitch as well as off it!

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We’re just grinding out the win bro

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Think he was referring to Chelski. We're beautiful

  22. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Handbags

  23. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Should we do transfers today? For price rises?

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

      Aren't prices frozen now?

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        i dont know mate thats why i ask just logged in today

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think so

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Transfers done today before dl should count imo

  24. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Five without a Win vs Five on the Spin

  25. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I know people hate brags here, but I have had the worst season in the longest time since I've played this game, so to see that I'm top 200K GW rank with Haaland (c) I have had a touch of faith restored in this game. I'll take it.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Congratulations. Hope it springboards you to more green arrows

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fingers crossed man. Been wanting to rid myself of Cancelo for weeks and keep getting scared to. Think it's him, Neco and Guehi for the chopping block over WC period. Don't think I'll make any other changes for the time being

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You can't only ditch them...

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          What's the point in selling Cancelo if you can't upgrade him?

  26. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Got in Almiron as a threemium enabler 6 gws ago, and he has easily outscored all three premiums in that time..crazy

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Top scoring goalkeeper, defender and midfielder in FPL all play for Newcastle!

    1. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, they're a top 4 side, what we should be expecting from Chelsea Manu or Liverpool

  28. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Newscastle are amazing to watch

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Thanks bro

  29. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do nothing the entire game..haul long balls into the box like Burnley, then throw temper tantrums at the end of the game

  30. FPL_trail_runner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bench boost coming in nicely

    19 points and Bailey still to go.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
