It’s a first start of the season for Mateo Kovacic as the Croatian is partnered by Jorginho and N’Golo Kante in midfield while the 4-3-3 is complete with the presence of Pedro, Alvaro Morata and the second Chelsea player to make his first start, Eden Hazard.

The Maurizio Sarri era at Chelsea has gotten off to a brilliant start, with two wins from two and against former Blues manager Rafael Benitez, the West Londoners will look to make it three out of three.
Benitez has done a remarkable job with the Magpies considering the circumstances and his well-drilled side will look to stymie their fancied opponents as long as they can before nicking something on a counter or a free-kick.
Newcastle United: Dubravka, Yedlin, Fernandez, Schar, Clark, Dummen, Murphy, Ki, Diane, Richie and Rondon.
Chelsea: Kepa, Alonso, Luiz, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Kovacic, Jorginho, Kante, Hazard, Morata and Pedro.
Match kicks off at 2030 IST.
