Chelsea FC vs Newcastle United Team News: Chilwell, Kellyman, Wilson, Trippier, Dubravka
Chelsea FC are extremely healthy, as they head into their Sunday afternoon showdown with Newcastle United.

For the first time in his Chelsea FC career, striker Christopher Nkunku was healthy enough to be named to the matchday squad yesterday.
