Eddie Howe has named his Newcastle United starting XI to take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Sky Sports televised 2pm kick-off.

The big talking point is obviously that Anthony Gordon hasn't made the squad.

There were no indications before hand that Gordon wouldn't be involved so we're awaiting to find out what's happened there.

That obviously leaves Harvey Barnes to start on the left of the attack with Eddie Howe changing things up and bringing in Miguel Almiron on the right over Jacob Murphy.
