    Took the liberty of ripping the Chronicles article... https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-vs-chelsea-tv-what-15055753

    Newcastle welcome Chelsea to St James’ Park on Sunday as they go in search of their first win of the season.

    The Magpies spurned a huge opportunity to win three points last Saturday as Kenedy saw a stoppage-time penalty saved in their 0-0 draw at Cardiff.
    It means Rafa Benitez’s side are yet to win this season and they welcome Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea side to Tyneside next.

    The Blues have won both their opening Premier League games under the former Napoli boss and will be confident of extending their 100 per cent record on Sunday.

    What time does Newcastle vs Chelsea kick-off?
    The action gets under way at 4pm. It is one of three Premier League games taking place on Sunday.

    Is Newcastle vs Chelsea on TV? How can I follow it live?
    Yes, this one is on TV.

    The action will be broadcast on Sky Sports’ Main Event and Premier League channels with coverage beginning at 3.30pm following the conclusion of Watford vs Crystal Palace.

    What are the injury concerns? Who is in the teams?
    Newcastle will be without Florian Lejeune who has a long-term knee injury, while Isaac Hayden will serve the first of his three-match suspension.

    Kenedy is ineligible to play against his parent club but DeAndre Yedlin should be fit enough to return having missed the trip to Cardiff with a knee injury.

    Cesc Fabregas is a doubt for the Blues, while young squad players Isaiah Brown and Marco van Ginkel are injured and unavailable for selection.

    Newcastle likely XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett; Shelvey, Diame; Ritchie, Perez, Murphy; Rondon

    Chelsea likely XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Kante, Jorginho, Barkley; Pedro, Willian; Morata

    Who is the referee?

    Lancashire referee Paul Tierney will be the man in the middle on Sunday.
    Tierney officiated Newcastle on two occasions last season - both ending in defeats for the Magpies.

    Odds:
    Newcastle 4/1
    Chelsea 4/6
    Draw 3/1

    Blame Sean McCormick mate, I didn't write this drivel but I am upset you didn't appreciate the 30's it took me to copy and paste the article...my index finger is reasonably sore from clicking several times. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Never thought I'd be so happy to have Yedlin playing.

    The interesting stat is every time we have played a tough team on a Sunday in 2018, we win, whereas Chelsea have lost (including to us).

    I don't expect us to win, but I do expect a better performance than in the Cardiff game
