Newcastle pair Moussa Sissoko and Jack
Colback both return from suspension.
Captain Fabricio Coloccini is unlikely to be
risked as he continues to recover from a calf
injury, while Mike Williamson, Daryl Janmaat
and Sammy Ameobi all face fitness tests.
Chelsea striker Diego Costa is available after
a one-match ban, while defender Gary Cahill
is set to play having recovered from
concussion.
However, influential midfielder Nemanja Matic
is suspended.
Just how do Newcastle go about trying to halt
the Chelsea charge?
Sunderland's 'contain and counter' approach
worked a week ago, but there's something in
the Newcastle DNA that says they can't play
that way - even if most supporters would
gladly take a draw now.
Chelsea make a quick return to the North East
on the brink of two club records. Avoiding
defeat would mean new bests of 15 league
games unbeaten from a season's start, and 24
competitive matches without losing any.
You could travel to Mars in less time that has
passed since Atletico Madrid's Champions
League win at Stamford Bridge at the end of
April!
Little wonder that talk of Chelsea following
Arsenal's 'Invincibles' into the Premier League
history books grows by the game. Jose
Mourinho won't have it, and declared weeks
ago that going an entire season unbeaten is
"impossible"- but even pragmatic,
curmudgeonly Jose must have a flicker of
'maybe' buried somewhere deep inside.
Mustn't he?
Alan Pardew seemingly agreed with his
opposite number this week - but read
carefully. The 'impossible' word only came
when talking about the season across all
competitions, with a flawless league
campaign only "difficult".
Looking from the outside, a home win looks
the most unlikely of the three possible
outcomes, but there are some Chelsea fans
viewing the game with a minor degree of
trepidation.
Maybe it's the fact that a Mourinho Chelsea
team has never won a league game at St
James's Park, drawing two and losing two.
Or maybe it's down to the magnificent
Nemanja Matic missing from their midfield
through suspension? They might miss him
more than they did (the returning!) Diego
Costa against Spurs on Wednesday, especially
with Moussa Sissoko back for Newcastle.
The Frenchman's finest Magpies moment
remains his two-goal home debut against
Chelsea in February of last year, and Pardew
says he does "owe the team a little bit" after
his silly sending off at West Ham.
No pressure Moussa, but it looks like you'd
better have a good one.
Head-to-head
Newcastle have won their last two home
games against Chelsea, including by
2-0 last November when current Blues
striker Loic Remy was among the
scorers.
That victory was Alan Pardew's first
Premier League win over Jose Mourinho,
having lost the previous five meetings.
Newcastle
Newcastle are unbeaten in five home
matches (W3, D2), since their opening
day defeat by Manchester City.
They are currently enjoying a three-
game winning run at St James' Park,
keeping clean sheets in all of them.
The Magpies have only conceded three
goals in their last seven league
matches.
Alan Pardew's side have only scored
three first-half goals this season - the
fewest in the Premier League. They are
yet to score before the 37th minute of
any league game.
Chelsea
Chelsea can set a new club record of 24
matches unbeaten in all competitions
by avoiding defeat on Saturday (W17,
D6).
They can become the fourth team in
Premier League history to be unbeaten
after the opening 15 games, emulating
Arsenal (twice), Manchester City and
Manchester United. Chelsea have only
once previously been unbeaten over the
first 14 games of a season, in the old
Second Division in 1925-26.
The Blues have kept only one clean
sheet in seven away league games.
Jose Mourinho's side have gained nine
points from losing positions this
season.
Eden Hazard has scored four goals in
three Premier League appearances
against Newcastle United - more than
against any other side.
