Newcastle United's injury crisis is beginning to ease, with forward Allan Saint-Maximin returning after a month out with a hamstring injury.

Seven players are still sidelined and Andy Carroll is a doubt, but Joelinton and Fabian Schar are available.

Chelsea have no new fitness concerns, although N'Golo Kante continues to be assessed for a hamstring problem.

Marcos Alonso could be in contention following a thigh injury but Christian Pulisic remains out.
