Chelsea
- Kenedy will miss Newcastle's last game of the season as he cannot face off against his parent club.
- Islam Slimani is suspended for the final game of the season and won't play this weekend.
- Ciaran Clark and Christian Atsu are both ruled out for the home side.
- Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud were surprisingly dropped to the bench by Antonio Conte on Wednesday but they should return to the starting XI here.
- Gary Cahill was rested in midweek against Huddersfield but will start here, while Tiemoue Bakayoko and Victor Moses will also hope to return to the starting XI.
- Chelsea will not want to risk Thibaut Courtois with the FA Cup final around the corner, meaning Willy Caballero could continue in goal.

Chelsea win
Chelsea had a chance to put pressure on Liverpool and bottled it.
@MEHJones Even if they won vs Huddersfield and was equal on points with Liverpool, I doubt latter would lose any points against unmotivated Brighton anyway.
@tar88s Perhaps that's what Chelsea fans are telling themselves.
Giroud and Hazard in, The Blues will get three point here..
Do the Chelsea fans even want Giroud in the team?
How that cross from Hazard to Barkley is not a key pass?
Typical Bakayoko's game.
Five little Conte jumping on the dugout , bye bye monkey dance , bye bye chelshit
