## Fernandez Returns, Palmer Rested, New Sancho Role - Predicted Chelsea Line-Up for Newcastle ### Key Points * Enzo Fernandez makes his return to the Chelsea starting lineup * Conor Gallagher starts ahead of Billy Gilmour * Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke recalled to the attack * Hakim Ziyech drops to the bench * Reece James returns at right-back ### Detailed Analysis Chelsea manager Graham Potter is set to make several changes to his team for Saturday's Premier League clash against Newcastle United. Enzo Fernandez, who missed last week's draw with West Ham due to suspension, is expected to return to the starting lineup. The Argentine international will likely slot into his preferred central midfield role alongside Mateo Kovacic. Conor Gallagher could get the nod over Billy Gilmour in the other central midfield spot. Gallagher has impressed in recent substitute appearances and offers more attacking threat than Gilmour. In attack, Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke are expected to be recalled to the starting lineup. Sterling has been in good form since returning from injury, while Madueke has shown glimpses of his potential in his limited appearances so far. Hakim Ziyech is likely to drop to the bench after a disappointing performance against West Ham. At the back, Reece James is expected to return at right-back after missing the last game through injury. Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile are likely to continue in central defense, with Ben Chilwell at left-back. Here is Chelsea's predicted lineup for the game: **Goalkeeper:** Kepa Arrizabalaga **Defense:** Reece James, Thiago Silva, Benoit Badiashile, Ben Chilwell **Midfield:** Enzo Fernandez, Mateo Kovacic, Conor Gallagher **Attack:** Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Noni Madueke ### Conclusion Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from last week's draw with a win against Newcastle. The Blues have a strong squad and should be confident of getting all three points at St. James' Park.
