Chelsea team confirmed vs Newcastle: Callum Hudson-Odoi starts, with Marc Guehi on the bench

Chelsea are looking to make it five wins in a row as they take on Newcastle United in the Premier League this afternoon.

The Blues had a good run of form before the international break, however the two weeks was not particularly kind to them in terms of injuries.

N'Golo Kante and Andreas Christensen are out of the match at Stamford Bridge today after the knocks that they picked up while on duty with their countries.

Meanwhile, Antonio Rudiger is not yet fit to play for the first team as he continues to recover from a groin injury suffered more than a month ago.

It means that the Blues are still a little light in the centre-back position, and Frank Lampard will be hoping that there aren't any more injury worries to have to contend with.

Tammy Abraham will be keen to continue his excellent form at the beginning of the season, with eight Premier League goals to his name already.

Below is the full Chelsea team for the match with the Magpies in west London for the 3pm kick off.

Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Alonso, Jorginho, Mount, Barkley, Willian, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi.

Subs: Caballero, James, Guehi, Giroud, Batshuayi, Pulisic, Kovacic
