Newcastle vs Chelsea: Preview
The Magpies have been inconsistent this term in the Premier League and will hope to put a solid run together over the Christmas period.
Starting with hosting Chelsea, Howe's men are still reeling following a humbling defeat against local rivals Sunderland last weekend, with summer signing Nick Woltemade putting through his own net.
But victory in Saturday's early kick-off could see Newcastle go as high as 9th in the table.
In fact, Chelsea haven't won at St. James' Park since October 2021, with Newcastle having won three of their last three against them.
In terms of injuries, Tino Livramento sustained a knee injury in midweek and will now join Dan Burn (rib), Nick Pope (groin), Kieran Trippier (hamstring), Sven Botman (back), William Osula (ankle) and Emil Krafth (knee) on the sidelines.
Chelsea were made to work hard for their victory over the Bluebirds in midweek, with Pedro Neto and then Alejandro Garnacho eventually netting late on in the 3-1 win.
Having beaten Everton in the Premier League last weekend, too, Maresca's side will be hoping for another victory up north on Saturday.
Chelsea have also looked particularly solid at the back on the road, keeping four clean sheets in their last five Premier League away matches, barring their hiccup at Leeds United recently.
Brazilian forward Estevao Willian will miss out due to a muscle injury, joining Liam Delap (shoulder), Levi Colwill (knee), Romeo Lavia (thigh) and Dario Essugo (thigh) on the sidelines, while Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended) remains unavailable.
