Chelsea fans choose the team they want to see play Newcastle United - including two big changes

Chelsea are back in Premier League action this Saturday afternoon as they host Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues went into the international break on a good run of form with four victories on the bounce and will be looking to carry that on against the Magpies.

It hasn't been the perfect international break for the Blues, with several of their players picking up some injuries over the course of the two weeks.

N'Golo Kante, Reece James, Mateo Kovacic and Andreas Christensen have all had some issues, and Frank Lampard will be hoping that they aren't too bad as the players return to training this week.

Chelsea fans have been selecting the team that they want to see face Steve Bruce's team this weekend, and it includes the return of tow players who have been out with injuries.

Emerson Palmieri and Antonio Rudiger have been recovering from knocks, but Lampard was hoping to have both players back after the international break.

Lampard has had some recent success with the 4-2-3-1 formation, and the Chelsea boss will be hoping to be able to continue that with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Willian on the flanks.

Tammy Abraham only made one short appearance for England this week, while Fikayo Tomori didn't feature at all in the two matches with Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

Cesar Azpilicueta has been in better form as well in the right-back role, but Chelsea fans want to see Emerson replace Marcos Alonso and Kurt Zouma to be replaced by Rudiger.

football.london will have all the action for you over the weekend from Stamford Bridge.
