Chelsea is getting ready for the Premier League to resume this weekend, and Mauricio Pochettino will be keeping an eye on his players’ fitness.
The Blues are getting ready for another challenging matchup against Newcastle United, who have won every Saturday at 3 p.m. since Eddie Howe took over.
Nonetheless, the team will feel somewhat confident following their recent impressive performances against Manchester City and Tottenham.
This is The Chelsea Chronicle’s lineup prediction for the Premier League match this coming weekend.
GK and Defence
Robert Sanchez, who has been the only player to start for the team in every tournament this season, will stay in goal.
Reece James will be much better off after taking two weeks off to heal, and he will resume on Saturday.
Thiago Silva’s streak of starting every Premier League game this season continues.
Levi Colwill, who was injured and missed the final game before the international break, will be starting in the midfield with him.
Marc Cucurella will attempt to continue his comeback on the left.
Hopefully, midfielder Moises Caicedo will be sufficiently recovered from another demanding international break in South America to return to the starting lineup.

Lesley Ugochukwu, 19, will take Enzo Fernandez’s place since we believe it will be too soon for him.
Conor Gallagher, one of the season’s contenders, will reappear in front of those two.
Attack
Cole Palmer is already one of those candidates; he will start for the Blues off to the right again.
Raheem Sterling, who somehow missed out on being called up to the England side last week, will occupy the opposite wing.
Nicolas Jackson, who has scored four goals in his past two games, will try to score again up front.
