Chelsea v Newcastle line-ups: Zouma and Cech start, Newcastle man returns

By

Kurt Zouma and Petr Cech are the surprise inclusions in Chelsea’s starting line-up for the game against Newcastle, who have goalkeeper Tim Krul back from injury.

Keeper Cech’s selection means keeper Thibaut Courtois is on the bench along with Gary Cahill, with Zouma partnering skipper John Terry at the heart of the Blues defence.

Chelsea are looking for a tenth home Premier League victory from ten games this season.

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Costa.
Subs: Courtois, Cahill, Filipe Luis, Mikel, Ramires, Remy, Drogba.
