Chelsea v Newcastle United
Chelsea will be missing midfielder Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge after he damaged his thigh in Wednesday's draw with Aston Villa. The Blues are also missing captain John Terry (broken foot), striker Didier Drogba (knee surgery) and winger Florent Malouda (knee), while defender Ricardo Carvalho is suspended after being sent off against Villa. Ashley Cole has appealed against his red card in the same match.
Newcastle, who have won only two of their last 10 league matches, travel with manager Sam Allardyce under extreme pressure after defeat at Wigan on Boxing Day. They are without Joey Barton after the midfielder was charged with assault and is remanded in custody until January 3.
