Newcastle United return to Premier League action following the two-week international break with Chelsea the visitors to St James' Park this afternoon (kick-off 3pm).
The Magpies lost 2-0 to AFC Bournemouth last time out in a game where their injury crisis came to a head. Already without 12 senior players, United lost Miguel Almiron to injury during the match, while Fabian Schar and Sean Longstaff picked up knocks.
