Chelsea Lineup vs Newcastle: Confirmed XI - Blues Aim for Bounce Back
So, the Blues are back in action! After a rough couple of weeks, Chelsea are looking to get back on track against Newcastle. The Toon Army are no pushovers, but Chelsea need to show up and show out if they want the win.
Let's see who Graham Potter has picked to take on Eddie Howe's men:
Chelsea Starting Lineup
- Goalkeeper: Kepa Arrizabalaga
- Defense: Reece James, Thiago Silva, Benoit Badiashile, Ben Chilwell
- Midfield: Enzo Fernandez, Conor Gallagher, Mateo Kovacic
- Attack: Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Noni Madueke
Key Notes
- Kepa's back in goal, which is a bold move given the recent struggles of Edouard Mendy.
- Mudryk's getting another chance, but he'll need to step up if he wants to keep his spot in the starting XI.
- No Kai Havertz, who's apparently feeling a bit under the weather.
- Gallagher and Kovacic are the engine room of this midfield, and they'll need to be firing on all cylinders to control the tempo of the game.
Predictions
This game is going to be a tight one. Newcastle are a solid unit, and they've got some real firepower up front. But, Chelsea have the quality to unlock their defense and get a much-needed win.
Let's hope the boys can pull it off!
