- The likes of Rodwell, Gibson and Neville could all be missing once again, meaning the central midfield partnership should be Osman and Fellaini.
- Distin should continue to act as cover for Baines, who remains a doubt, while Magaye Gueye will hope to replace McFadden on the right.
- Despite losing 2-0 to Man City last time out Alan Pardew is unlikely to make changes with no fresh injury concerns.
- Danny Simpson remains sidelined, so James Perch should continue to deputise at right-back, with Ryan Taylor another option.
- Hatem Ben Arfa could drop deeper to the right flank in a straight 4-4-2 formation in this tricky away game.
Chelsea are underdogs in the Champions League final.So fourth spot would probably get Newcastle a place in the Champions League.They may not need slip-ups by both Arsenal and Tottenham to qualify if they win at Everton - just one of the two would probably suffice.They have everything to play for.
