Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Chelsea's trip to Newcastle. After what has seemed like an eternity, the Premier League is back, with in-form Chelsea looking to continue their march back up the table in the north east. The Blues are unbeaten in 11, with their plethora of new arrivals all starting to settle. Newcastle have been hit and miss to date, but have won two of their last three at home.

FT: Newcastle 0-2 Chelsea. 12 unbeaten for the Blues in all competitions now, as they move to the top of the Premier League table with consummate ease, disposing of a poor Newcastle thanks to a goal in each half. Thanks for joining us. Goodbye.
Easy as you like this for Chelsea. Cruising to another three points.
Three minutes of added time here.
Giroud looking to get in on the act on the stretch, but he is flagged offside.

H. Ziyech
Change for Chelsea as Ziyech is replaced by Olivier Giroud.
It's been very comfortable for Lampards's side - who have a corner as Schar puts behind. It's recycled several times and though Ziyech tries his luck with a little lofted ball to the back stick, Darlow can claim.
Emerson replaces Chilwell for Chelsea.

B. Chilwell
What an impact.
Was that a shot on target from Newcastle? Mendy tips Almiron's shot wide. Looked to have been going wide anyway.
One this afternoon will make a real difference...
Chance for Mount to really make sure of the win, but scuffs just wide.
Change for Chelsea as Callum Hudson-Odoi comes on for Werner.

C. Hudson-Odoi

T. Werner
NO GOAL! Brilliant finish from Werner, but he is just offside as he puts the ball in.
Change for Newcastle with Saint-Maximin replaced by Andy Carroll.

CROSSBAR! That was the moment for Newcastle as Longstaff unleashes an effort at goal from distance, it looks to be heading into the top corner, but clips the top of the crossbar and flies over.
The home defence were powerless to stop him.
Joelinton looks to bulldoze his way through, but again he is easily dispossessed.
He has everything.
Change for Newcastle as Manquillo is replaced by Miguel Almiron.

M. Almirón

J. Manquillo
All about the assist from Werner, as he uses his electric pace to dart between two Newcastle defenders, races clear, lays it through for Abraham, who finishes off the post. Game over?
