Newcastle United v Chelsea: When is it? What time is kick-off? Can I watch it on TV?

Newcastle host Chelsea in their tenth Premier League game of the season, still searching for their elusive first victory.

A 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday was not enough for Graeme Jones’ side to drag themselves out of the bottom three - and an ominous task against the European Champions is up next for United.

However, they will draw strength from the fact that they have defeated Chelsea five times in their last eight meetings at St James’s Park, losing just twice in that time.

Here are all the details you need to know about the Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Chelsea:

When is it?

The Premier League match between Newcastle United and Chelsea takes place on Saturday October 30. The game kicks off at 3pm at St James’s Park.

Is the game on TV?

What’s the latest injury news?

Newcastle will be monitoring the fitness of Martin Dubravka and Paul Dummett as they near their respective returns to the first-team.

On Saturday, Jones revealed that Joe Willock had been playing through the pain barrier since picking up a toe-injury in September - an update on his condition is expected later this week.

Jonjo Shelvey is back available for selection after serving a one-game suspension for his red card against Tottenham Hotspur.
