It's easy to forget about actual football these days, but Chelsea are back on the pitch today. They take on Newcastle whose owners are in no way morally ambiguous like Roman Abramovich is.
Ben Chilwell, Reece James and, most likely, Callum Hudson-Odoi are not featuring today.
Christian Pulisic, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso and Ruben Loftus-Cheek face a late fitness test and might not all be risked with a trip to France for the Champions League clash with Lille just days away.
Yesterday, we offered you to choose your favourite starting XI from a couple of options. Here are some of the most popular comments.
IG Michael: "Option 1 is good enough, But Alonso out, Saul in, please. So that Chelsea will not struggle to win Newcastle"
chelseafan1643743335832100226: "It's definitely good enough to beat anyone. I would prefer Saul at left wing-back. But no doubt, there will be changes that have not been suggested."
Ebizo Zaki: "Option 1, no argument about it. Sarr makes me feel uncomfortable when playing"
Shawn Dochtermann: "I like that Tuchel keeps mixing it up. Option 1, and bring in Lukaku and Pulisic with 30 minutes to go. Stick with Saul, he’s been playing better as Alonso is just too slow to get back to defence fast enough."
So, here's Chelsea's ultimate starting Xi vs Newcastle, as chosen by you.
