Chelsea remain unbeaten in the Premier League so far this season, but have found this to be something of a bogey ground for them in the last couple of seasons, though they look sure for another three points this afternoon with a strong lineup taking the field.
The only notable absentee is Nemanja Matic through suspension, with John Obi Mikel partnering Cesc Fabregas in midfield.
Team to face Newcastle: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Mikel, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa. #CFC
