Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Newcastle United

Chelsea will be looking to make it five victories in a row in all competitions when they continue their 2020-21 Premier League campaign at home to Newcastle United on Monday night.

The Blues booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup courtesy of a 1-0 success over Championship outfit Barnsley on Thursday night.

Thomas Tuchel's side have also won their last three in the Premier League to move into fifth position in the table, just one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool on the same number of matches.
