Chelsea face Newcastle at St James’ Park in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
We suspected Mauricio Pochettino would make some changes after the international break, and he’s made two.
Moises Caicedo has to miss out after returning just yesterday from South America, where he played 90 minutes twice with Ecuador.
Lesley Ugochukwu gets the big call to replace him.
Benoit Badiashile gets his first Premier League start of the season, replacing Axel Disasi. This looks less like a rotation, and more like Pochettino giving Badiashile a proper first team chance to see if he can establish himself as a starter.
The rest of the team is as expected, and it’s great to have some consistency in the line ups now, with injuries less of an issue. Let’s hope that means a settle performance too.
Here are the full team line-ups for Newcastle vs Chelsea (kick off at 15:00 GMT)
