Newcastle starting XI:
Pope | Schär (c), Joelinton, Tonali, Gordon, Isak, Krafth, Hall, Kelly, Willock, Longstaff
Substitutes from: Dúbravka, Barnes, Osula, Livramento, Almirón, Burn, A. Murphy, Bruno G., Miley
Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Jorgensen | Disasi, Tosin, Badiashile, Cucurella | Enzo (c), Veiga | João Félix, Dewsbury-Hall, Mudryk | Nkunku
