Chelsea vs Newcastle Preview: kick-off time, team news, h2h results, venue today

Chelsea are today back in Premier League action as they visits Newcastle. The Blues got back to winning ways with a 4-1 victory over Panathinaikos on Thursday evening.

Newcastle, meanwhile, were beaten by Brighton last weekend and have not scored a goal over a month, an underwhelming start to the season continues for Eddie Howe.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Chelsea FC vs Newcastle is scheduled for a 2pm kick-off time today, Sunday, October 27, 2024 at Stamford Bridge in London.

The Blues could bring back Nicolas Jackson, Levi Colwill, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, Wesley Fofana and Moises Caicedo after making them rest during the week.

In the same vein, Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho and Robert Sanchez all travelled to Athens but are expected to come back into the starting lineup.

Newcastle will again be without Callum Wilson after a reported setback in his return from injury. Kieran Trippier, Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman are all out injured.

While midweek European action might have helped the Blues, they look well-placed to a claim an important victory after a team struggling for goals this season.
