Newcastle vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Magpies earn big win against Blues

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!

There are just two changes by Mauricio Pochettino from their draw with City two weeks ago. Badiashile and Ugochukwu are both brought in, while Gallagher is fit to retain his place after an ankle problem. Caicedo and Disasi start on the bench, as does Colwill after passing a late fitness test for a shoulder injury.

Howe makes three changes to the side that lost to Bournemouth last time out, getting a couple of boosts with returning players. Isak has recovered from a groin injury and Guimaraes is back from suspension to start, with Livramento also coming in. Lewis Hall is ineligible to face his parent club, while Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock are both out through injury.

CHELSEA SUBS: Axel Disasi, Noni Madueke, Armando Broja, Ian Maatsen, Dorde Petrovic, Levi Colwill, Mykhailo Mudryk, Moises Caicedo, Alex Matos.

CHELSEA STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez; Reece James, Thiago Silva, Benoit Badiashile, Marc Cucurella; Lesley Ugochukwu, Enzo Fernandez; Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling; Nicolas Jackson.

NEWCASTLE UNITED SUBS: Loris Karius, Paul Dummett, Amadou Diallo, Michael Ndiweni, Matt Ritchie, Alex Murphy, Martin Dubravka, Ben Parkinson, Mark Gillespie.

NEWCASTLE UNITED STARTING XI (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar, Tino Livramento; Lewis Miley, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton; Miguel Almiron, Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon.

As for Chelsea, they've lost just one of their last eight matches in all competitions (W5 D2) and were involved in two quite incredible games in the week before the international break, beating nine-man Tottenham 4-1 before coming from behind to snatch a late point in a 4-4 draw with Manchester City. The Blues have actually won their last three matches on the road in the Premier League, but only against Liverpool and Arsenal (15 each) have they lost more away games in the competition than against Newcastle (13).

The international break seemed to come at the right time for Newcastle, whose injury-hit squad was starting to slip after another bright start to their season. They lost consecutive games doing into the break, losing 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League before being seen off by Bournemouth by the same scoreline. Before that defeat to the Cherries, Eddie Howe's side were unbeaten in seven Premier League outings (W5 D2), and they come into today in great home form, having won their last four at St. James' Park without conceding a single goal.
