The Blues maintained their place atop the league standings with a 7-0 thumping of Norwich City at Stamford Bridge. Mason Mount scored a hat-trick for the hosts who remain a point ahead of Liverpool after nine matches. 
 
In contrast, Newcastle are yet to win a match in the 2021/22 campaign and will head into the weekend in 19th spot on the league standings, three points from safety. 
 
The Magpies did manage a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace last time out, thanks to a brilliant equaliser from Callum Wilson in what was caretaker manager Graeme Jones' first match in charge. 

"I was waiting for one opportunity in the game. Sometimes they come so high so it was an instinctive finish. I was glad it found the back of the net," Wilson told the BBC.

"After the week we had, it was important to get a positive result. It's a point on the board and something to build on. It's baby steps, we're going in the right way," he added.
