Newcastle vs Chelsea LIVE!

Newcastle produced a stunning second-half display as the Magpies halted Chelsea's Premier League momentum with a 4-1 win at St James' Park.

Jamaal Lascelles' first-half error handed Raheem Sterling the chance to cancel out Alexander Isak's opener with a superb free-kick, but the Newcastle skipper gave his side the lead with a bullet header on the hour. Joelinton then pounced on Thiago Silva's blunder on the day he became the Blues' oldest ever outfield player at 39 years and 64 days.

The excellent Anthony Gordon produced a fine solo effort seven minutes from time to seal a thumping win, the perfect response to the Magpies' 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth before the international break. That it was achieved without 13 senior players - Joe Willock and Emil Krafth joined the casualty list on the eve of the game - will have been a source of huge satisfaction for head coach Eddie Howe. Mauricio Pochettino, who watched on from the stands as he served a touchline ban, must find a way to swiftly lift the mood again.

In fairness, Chelsea fought hard for 60 minutes but as soon as Lascelles' header went in, it was game over.

A dreadful reaction from the Blues followed. Having been in the game before, it was a total collapse.

Chelsea couldn't close anyone down, maintain possession or compete. The lack of competitive spirit in this group is an issue Pochettino has identified after other defeats this season, but this loss was particularly poor.

Player ratings

17:10 , Matt Verri

Reece James - 4

He was the best of the sloppy defence until his lax defending got him sent off for a professional foul on Gordon.

Benoit Badiashile - 4

He gave the ball away early on to put his side in danger and was arguably at fault for Lascelles' second goal.

Thiago Silva - 4

He looked every bit Chelsea's oldest-ever outfield player when he gave away the ball for Joelinton to seal the victory. It was a rare poor afternoon for the legendary defender.

Camera pans to Raheem Sterling after the match and he is just sat on the bench, on his own, stunned.

He played well... no one else did for Chelsea.

FT: Newcastle 4-1 Chelsea

16:58 , Matt Verri

Well that was dramatic.

In the balance after an hour, a rout after an hour and a half.

He will now be suspended for the match against his former club Brighton next weekend.

Feels like there could be a fair bit of that the way this is going, has unravelled big time for Chelsea.

And it's about to get much worse... JAMES IS SENT OFF!

Newcastle 3-1 Chelsea

16:26 , Matt Verri

65 mins: How do Chelsea recover from that shambles?

They look a bit stunned, as you'd expected. Palmer trying to drag them up the pitch, he finds Cucurella.

Newcastle have plenty back though, Blues have to turn away.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

16:25 , Matt Verri

Just one minute and 30 seconds between Newcastle's two second half goals. Incredible.

Both of Chelsea's central defenders sloppy, they will need something special to pull this back.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

16:18 , Matt Verri

58 mins: Trippier has spent a lot of time moaning about diving for a man who has been doing plenty of it himself.

The Newcastle man does get the decision this time, as Sterling shoves him in the back.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

16:16 , Matt Verri

55 mins: Gallagher the latest player into the book, as he lunges in to halt Guimaraes' progress.

Think the yellow was for his complaints, as much as the foul.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

16:14 , Matt Verri

Raheem Sterling has become a real target of the boo boys for his perceived diving.

The atmosphere is excellent as ever at St James's Park, referee Simon Hooper letting a lot of big challenges go.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

16:14 , Matt Verri

53 mins: Some terrible diving going on.

Jackson the latest to try and win a free-kick, appeals are waved away.

Sterling down now in the Newcastle box, wants a penalty. Not going to get it.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

16:11 , Matt Verri

50 mins: Fernandez and then Trippier both throw themselves to the floor dramatically... referee not interested either time.

James then slides in on Joelinton, who wants a foul. Just a corner.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

16:09 , Matt Verri

Nicolas Jackson has not had much involvement in this match but his pressing is causing Jamaal Lascelles problems.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

16:08 , Matt Verri

47 mins: Strangely Sterling has been booted off free-kick taking duties. Bit harsh, considering his goal.

James steps up instead, and duly smashes the ball miles over the bar.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

16:07 , Matt Verri

46 mins: Ten seconds into the second-half and Lascelles is booked!

He gives the ball away, and then hauls Jackson down to stop the run in behind. Free-kick in a brilliant position.

Around the grounds

15:58 , Matt Verri

The promoted sides continue to struggle...

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:54 , Matt Verri

Reece James approached referee Simon Hooper after the half-time whistle to ask why Joelinton wasn't sent off for a high arm on him.

Assistant manager Jesus Perez pulls him away, just in case he gets another FA charge.

HT: Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:50 , Matt Verri

And that's half-time.

Really enjoyable 45 minutes, it's level heading into the break.

Chances for both throughout the half - Newcastle will feel they should probably be in front.

Sterling's superb free-kick levelled it up after Isak's opener.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:49 , Matt Verri

45+3 mins: Yellow card for Joelinton - Chelsea want more.

James turns away from the Brazilian, who charges back and drags him down basically by the neck.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:47 , Matt Verri

45+1 mins: Three minutes added on.

Clumsy from James, who trips Livramento. Newcastle fans fear the worst whenever one of their players goes down at the moment...

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:46 , Matt Verri

Anthony Gordon doesn't luck fit for Newcastle.

Chelsea can win this if they take an attritional approach and just grind out the result.

They have much more talent on their bench.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:44 , Matt Verri

43 mins: Lovely skill from Gordon, chops past Ugochukwu and wins the free-kick. Yellow card for the Chelsea midfielder.

Trippier standing over this - just about within range.

Off the bar! What an effort. Smacks the woodwork and flies over.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:41 , Matt Verri

40 mins: More good work from Sterling, wins a corner as Trippier charges down his cross.

Palmer swings it in, this time Lascelles gets up well in the middle to head clear. Better spell for Chelsea.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:38 , Matt Verri

Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope is not playing well here. He just presented a big chance to Conor Gallagher with his errant kicking.

Luckily, Eddie Howe can call upon three goalkeepers on his bench if needed...

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:37 , Matt Verri

36 mins: Pope is very, very lucky.

Awful pass, straight to Gallagher. The Chelsea midfielder has a huge chance inside the box, but he scuffs the shot badly and it dribbles miles wide.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:33 , Matt Verri

33 mins: Chance after chance!

Badiashile has pretty much a free header in the middle, straight at Pope. Delivery didn't have a huge amount of pace on, and the header was comfortably saved.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:33 , Matt Verri

32 mins: Great save!

Lovely move from Chelsea, as James and Palmer combine.

James pulls the ball back for Fernandez, catches the strike really sweetly and Pope tips it behind for a corner.

15:31 , Matt Verri

30 mins: Newcastle on the front foot since that equaliser, Chelsea have lost control again.

Hosts well on top, as Almiron fires a great ball into the six-yard box. Isak didn't make the run.

Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea

15:27 , Matt Verri

26 mins: Dear me. Silva mops up the ball out wide, tries to scoop it through Gordon's legs... ends up standing on the ball and knocking it behind for a corner.

And Newcastle should score! Wonderful delivery, Joelinton completely free at the back post. Open goal, Sanchez on the ground... Joelinton heads wide. Massive chance.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:26 , Matt Verri

Raheem Sterling scores a wonderful free-kick.

It seems like he was more eager to go down when he won the ball instead of passing, and now I can see why...

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Chelsea | Raheem Sterling 23'

15:24 , Matt Verri

Chelsea are level!

Sensational from Sterling. He wins the free-kick, and he steps up and whips it into the top corner. Pope didn't move.

Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea

15:23 , Matt Verri

22 mins: Both Gordon and Joelinton are back up and fine to continue.

Chelsea have a big chance to break after an error from Lascelles, Sterling is away.

Considers Palmer to his right, goes by himself and Trippier brings him down on the edge of the area. Yellow card.

Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea

15:21 , Matt Verri

20 mins: Real concern for Newcastle, as Gordon slips off the ball and stays down - looks to be in a lot of pain.

Last thing Newcastle need is more injury issues. Gordon is up, but now Joelinton has gone down!

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:19 , Matt Verri

Chelsea have not reacted well since the goal.

Jesus Perez looks frustrated - the Blues weren't playing badly before Isak put his side ahead.

Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea

15:18 , Matt Verri

17 mins: Cucurella heads Trippier's delivery away, but the Newcastle full-back will get another chance.

15:17 , Matt Verri

16 mins: Chelsea are rattled.

All Newcastle now, Almiron skipping to the byline and dinking a poor ball in.

Gallagher should clear, but he takes a heavy touch and then fouls Gordon. Free-kick in a great position for the hosts.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:15 , Matt Verri

Alexander Isak opens the scoring.

Stunning assist from 17-year-old Lewis Miley, but Marc Cucurella played him onside.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea | Alexander Isak 13'

15:14 , Matt Verri

NEWCASTLE IN FRONT!

First chance for the hosts, first goal.

It's a brilliant ball from Miley, slid through to Isak, and he keeps his cool to lift the ball into the roof of the net.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:11 , Matt Verri

Chelsea have had marginally the better start, with Conor Gallagher registering the only shooting chance, which he created himself.

Newcastle look solid and happy to sit off and counter.

Newcastle 0-0 Chelsea

15:10 , Matt Verri

9 mins: First effort of the match, as Gallagher is allowed to drive into the box.

He's frustrated with himself as he fires the shot wide of the far post.

Newcastle 0-0 Chelsea

15:09 , Matt Verri

8 mins: Not a huge amount of pace in the match, neither side pressing particularly high up the pitch yet.

Fernandez plays the ball through to Cucurella who has lots of space. Out wide to Palmer, who links to dink something into the box but it's a poor ball.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:06 , Matt Verri

It looks like Benoit Badiashile is man marking Alexander Isak.

His pace may be helpful, with Thiago Silva as the other central defender.

Newcastle 0-0 Chelsea

15:05 , Matt Verri

4 mins: Isak allowed to drive forward for the hosts, cuts inside and he has plenty of space to find Guimaraes.

Midfielder clips the ball over the top, Isak has a chance to get the volley away but takes too long.

At the other end, Jackson bundles his way into the box... doesn't get the shot away in time.

Newcastle 0-0 Chelsea

15:04 , Matt Verri

3 mins: Pochettino watching on from the stands, as he serves his touchline suspension.

Newcastle have made a decent start, on the front foot early on. Still a very strong starting lineup, even with their injury issues.

KICK-OFF!

15:01 , Matt Verri

We're underway!

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

15:00 , Matt Verri

Newcastle vs Chelsea feels pretty big to be squirrelled away as a 3pm kick-off...

Here we go!

14:56 , Matt Verri

Teams are in the tunnel, it's very nearly time to get up and running at St. James' Park.

Atmosphere is superb as ever - we'll get a real indication of exactly where Chelsea are this afternoon.

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

14:50 , Matt Verri

Eddie Howe picks three goalkeepers on the bench this afternoon.

It's up to Chelsea to try to take advantage of Newcastle's injury plight.

Pochettino wants more consistency

14:44 , Matt Verri

Chelsea have been impressive in the big games this season, taking points off Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham.

There have still been plenty of frustrating matches though, against sides they are expected to beat, and Pochettino has been working to address that.

"For me it's tough, because we perform really well against big teams but then we struggle," the Chelsea boss said in his pre-match press conference.

"That is why in the last two weeks we were talking with the players, now today, to find out why and how we can provide the tools to improve our performance against teams people don't consider our level.

"I think it's a good point to work. It's more mental than tactical or physical and it's a mix of many factors."

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

Big afternoon for both sides...

No ban on loans between associated clubs

14:32 , Matt Verri

The Premier League has been defeated in its bid to ban loan transfers between associated party clubs in January.

The move was designed to prevent a club like Newcastle loaning a player from another club owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund - they have been linked with a temporary switch for Ruben Neves from Saudi club Al-Hilal.

The Premier League needed 14 out of 20 clubs to vote for the ban at the shareholders' meeting in London on Tuesday afternoon.

But the vote finished 13-7 in favour of a ban, short of the threshold to push the motion through.

Injury-hit Newcastle will now, if they wish, be able to bring in former Wolves midfielder Neves on loan to replace Sandro Tonali following his 10-month ban for breaking rules on gambling.

How it stands...

14:27 , Matt Verri

Chelsea tenth in the Premier League table going into the weekend, after an inconsistent start to the season.

They will move just a point behind Newcastle with victory this afternoon, with the Magpies seventh for now.

A win for Newcastle and they will be only six points off the top of the table...

Mudryk woes explained

14:19 , Matt Verri

Mykhailo Mudryk's struggles at Chelsea have been blamed on the club's transfer strategy under Todd Boehly and managerial failures amid suggestions he should leave the club.

Chelsea beat Arsenal to the signing of Mudryk last January in a deal worth a staggering £88million and the fans' delight soon turned to months of frustrations as the young winger struggled for form and minutes under first Graham Potter and then interim manager Frank Lampard.

Mudryk has two goals under new manager Mauricio Pochettino this season, including against Arsenal, but his output continues to be far more impressive for Ukraine, where he has two goals and two assists in seven games.

Shakhtar Donetsk fitness coach Carlo Nicolini believes Mudryk's struggles in England are down to the "team of individuals" Chelsea have created with their £1 billion transfer spend since the Boehly-Clearlake takeover.

“Mudryk needed to take one more step there, then the war happened," Nicolini told Play TV. "He went to Chelsea, which is not a team, individuals struggle [there].

"In the national team you can see the real Mudryk, he can do even more."

Nizaar Kinsella at St. James' Park

14:13 , Matt Verri

Thiago Silva becomes the oldest ever outfield player to play for Chelsea, aged 39 and 64 days.

His ongoing career remains an unbelievable achievement, still very much able to play at the highest level.

He is truly O Monstro, living up to his much deserved nickname.

Newcastle strengthened

14:09 , Matt Verri

Three changes for Newcastle - the big news is that Alexander Isak is back to lead the line for the hosts.

That's a big boost for Eddie Howe, after the striker's issues with a groin injury, while Bruno Guimaraes returns from suspension and Tino Livramento is in at left-back.

Lewis Hall is unable to face his parent club.

Nizaar Kinsella at Stamford Bridge

14:05 , Matt Verri

Moises Caicedo is deemed not fit enough to start given he only arrived back from Ecuador yesterday.

Lesley Ugochukwu gets a rare Premier League start in his place. Benoit Badiashile makes his first Premier League start since May.

13:54 , Matt Verri

Team news coming up very shortly from St. James' Park.

Both managers have plenty of injury issues to contend with - all will be revealed in the next five minutes or so.

Chelsea set Lukaku asking price

13:47 , Matt Verri

Chelsea hope to finally offload Romelu Lukaku next summer, with Roma keen to make his loan move permanent.

Lukaku is in sensational form, having scored nine times in 14 games in Italy this season and hit four goals for Belgium against Azerbaijan last weekend.

Despite that form, Chelsea remain keen to sell Lukaku as they consider a move to sign another striker either in January or next summer.

Chelsea have set a £37million price tag for the 30-year-old striker, which Roma are willing to pay if he continues his good form.

Stage is set!

13:40 , Matt Verri

Perfect afternoon for it at St. James' Park...

Inside story of Hall move

13:33 , Matt Verri

Watching from the stands at St James’ Park this afternoon, Lewis Hall will reflect on his whirlwind summer move from Chelsea to Newcastle.

The 19-year-old had been at Chelsea since he was eight and went from signing a new long-term contract to joining Newcastle just two weeks later.

Hall has initially moved on loan, meaning he is ineligible when Chelsea face Newcastle in the Premier League, but the deal is set to become permanent for £28million next summer.

The move was met with anger from large sections of Chelsea fans, who were unhappy at losing the club’s academy player of the season to a rival.

Pochettino bans himself

13:26 , Alex Young

Mauricio Pochettino imposed a club punishment on himself for incurring the wrath of referees - as the Chelsea boss criticised new rules that targets managers' bad behaviour.

The Argentine will not be allowed in the dugout at Newcastle on Saturday, having stormed onto the pitch to confront referee Anthony Taylor in the 4-4 draw at home to Manchester City.

Pochettino punished striker Nicolas Jackson after his one-game ban for five yellow cards was largely earned for arguing with officials, and now the manager has dished out a reprimand to himself.

"[Jackson] had to run [for his punishment]," Pochettino revealed on Friday. "And I am going to pay for a dinner because I got suspended and I cannot run, so I prefer to pay."

Pochettino on momentum

13:17 , Alex Young

Chelsea had come into form prior to the international break with five wins from eight in all competitions, a run which saw them score 19 times having previously netted only seven in their first seven under Pochettino.

The manager is hopeful that the pause will not have disrupted his side's rhythm.

"The break came at a bad time," he said. "It came in a moment we were building a way to play, results were on our side.

"But I believe we can keep momentum even after two weeks with no competition."

Pochettino also revealed that the squad has held group discussions about why performances and results have been better this season against the stronger teams.

"It's part of the process," he said. "We're a young team, we started to work four months ago. We need to be more mature, more patient. We cannot get frustrated so soon when things don't work.

"Expectation creates nervousness when you play a team with less quality than you. You take rushed decisions, get frustrated. You want to do the job of your team-mate."

Head to head

Newcastle wins: 55

Draws: 40

Chelsea wins: 78

Score prediction

13:01 , Alex Young

With Newcastle dealing with so many injuries, Chelsea should surely have enough even if St James’ is a difficult place to go.

Chelsea to win 2-1.

Chelsea team news

12:53 , Alex Young

While Chelsea are not without injury problems of their own, things appear to be improving.

Both Christopher Nkunku and Romeo Lavia are working their way back up to full fitness, though will not be available this weekend, while Levi Colwill and Malo Gusto are expected to be available.

Longer-term absentees Ben Chilwell, Trevoh Chalobah and Wesley Fofana remain out, despite the latter returning to running on grass this week following major knee surgery in the summer.

Newcastle team news

12:42 , Alex Young

Newcastle have been dealing with an injury crisis of late. Sven Botman, Harvey Barnes, Callum Wilson, Jacob Murphy, Matt Targett, Dan Burn, Javier Manquillo and Elliot Anderson are all on the treatment table.

Sandro Tonali, meanwhile, is banned for breaching betting rules and Lewis Hall is not eligible to play against his parent club.

Sean Longstaff is a doubt but Fabian Schar, Kieran Trippier and Miguel Almiron are all expected to feature. Bruno Guimaraes is free from suspension and Eddie Howe is upbeat over Alexander Isak's fitness.

Welcome

12:32 , Alex Young

Good afternoon and welcome to the Standard's LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Newcastle and Chelsea.

A month ago, pundits would be predicting a comfortable home win. Not now though.

Chelsea have found their scoring touch and Newcastle are in an injury crisis. It should be a cracker.

Kick-off is at 3pm.
