Chelsea will expect to continue their winning run when they face Newcastle. They have climbed into fifth place and Tammy Abraham is in hot goalscoring form. However, N’Golo Kanté is out after suffering a groin injury on international duty and Newcastle have already claimed a couple of big scalps, winning at Tottenham in August and beating Manchester United two weeks ago.
