Chelsea Predicted XI: We predict Frank Lampard’s starting XI as Chelsea travel to Newcastle United in the Premier League lunchtime kick off

Defenders: Despite stating that he will wrap experienced defender Thiago Silva in cotton wool, Lampard has been giving the Brazilian a lot of playing time. However, we believe Silva will be rested today and Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger will be paired at centre back. Ben Chilwell is a doubt, but Lampard will hope to field the left back with Reece James at right back, who will be fresh following his England suspension.
