Liam Rosenior has named his starting eleven for Chelsea’s home Premier League match against Newcastle United.
It has been an interesting month, with wins against Aston Villa and Wrexham and defeats to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.
The priority for the Blues remains finishing in the top five in the Premier League, and a victory over Newcastle would be significant.
Three points would temporarily move Chelsea above Manchester United and Aston Villa into third place. Here is the confirmed line-up:
Chelsea starting XI vs Newcastle
Rosenior faced an interesting dilemma after Filip Jorgensen’s frustrating performance against PSG on Wednesday.
He has decided to drop Jorgensen and bring Robert Sanchez back into the fold at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea will continue to play with a back four, including Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah at the heart of the defence.

Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella have been selected on either side of the backline.
Moises Caicedo will partner Reece James in central midfield, as Enzo Fernandez plays further forward in the number 10 position.
Joao Pedro spearheads Chelsea’s front three once more, with Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho supporting him out wide.
