Match at Stamford Bridge, London, in the Premier League (Regular Season - 30), kicks off on 2026-03-14 at 17:30 UTC. Chelsea come in 5th on 48 points, chasing Europa League qualification, while Newcastle sit 12th on 39 points.
Chelsea Availability
Chelsea are missing several players. L. Colwill is ruled out with a knee injury, while Estêvão and J. Bynoe-Gittens are also sidelined by muscle problems. M. Mudryk is suspended. Despite these absences, key attackers remain available: João Pedro (14 goals, 5 assists) leads the line in prolific form, supported by C. Palmer (9 goals, 1 assist) and E. Fernández (8 goals, 3 assists), all fit and ready to feature.
Newcastle Availability
Newcastle’s issues are concentrated in defence and midfield. Bruno Guimarães is a major absentee with a muscle injury, ruled out along with E. Krafth and L. Miley (both knee injuries). J. Ramsey is suspended after a red card, and F. Schär is sidelined by an ankle injury.
Chelsea lose depth and width but retain their main attacking core, with 31 league goals and 9 assists still available from João Pedro, Palmer and Fernández. Newcastle, however, are without Bruno Guimarães and his 9 goals and 4 assists, a significant creative and scoring loss that could tilt midfield control in Chelsea’s favour.
