Jamie Gittens, who is celebrating his 21st birthday, speaking to Channel 5: "I feeling amazing, playing at Stamford Bridge for the first time. The fans are amazing and the team is great. I'm very excited for this season. Training is like a game everyday, everyone is so competitive and I need that in my life, in football, to push myself to the maximum."
The Premier League season is almost upon us. I can hear you cheering from here!
But first, we've got a few more friendlies coming up and here are the ones for tomorrow.
FT: Chelsea 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, speaking to Channel 5: "I'm very happy with the performance especially as we have trained just three or four days together. We don't have time for pre-season. We have another game on Sunday.
"Not all of the players are going to be happy always. If they don't play, they're not happy. But they have to understand that they are all good - 22, 23, 24 players - and they have to understand that there will be many rotations."
On Estevao Willian's impressive performance: "He's very, very young. For sure, as I said yesterday, he is going to help the team. He's a fantastic player."
On strengthening his defence after Levi Colwill's injury: "It's a priority for me, yes, because Levi is a fantastic player. What we achieved last season is because of him also. I love him, I'm going to miss him."
Is there a plan to bring in another centre-back in this window: "We'll see, we'll see."
Newcastle 2-2 Espanyol
And that is that.
It's not the result Newcastle will want but does it really matter in pre-season as long as players build fitness?
Kike Garcia (90 mins)
A late twist right at the end.
Pere Milla works his way into the box, cuts back on his left foot and dinks it towards Kike Garcia and he heads beyond Aaron Ramsdale with ease.
Not the defending Eddie Howe will want to see.
Newcastle 2-1 Espanyol
We've got about three minutes left here and the second half has finally come to life.
Newcastle 2-1 Espanyol
Espanyol work it well in the midfield to free space for Tyrhys Dolan. He lets fly from distance and forces Aaron Ramsdale into a save he should be making.
Newcastle 2-1 Espanyol
Aaron Ramsdale hesitates as Ramon Terrats stands up a ball towards Pere Milla but the Espanyol forward can't make contact.
Any touch there and Ramsdale is in trouble.

Tomorrow is a day to look forward to for Newcastle.
It's the Sela Cup as Newcastle women take on Atletico Madrid women before the men's sides go head-to-head in front of a sold out St. James' Park.
Diego Simeone is always great value, isn't he?

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Former Chelsea striker on Channel 5
Chelsea now have competition in every position and that's what you need. They need to drive each other to be the best. Healthy competition and everyone fighting for their position...everybody wants to start every match. If you have that competition, it's the best feeling for the manager.

One area Newcastle do have competition this season is out on the right-hand side. Expect Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy to push each other.
Elanga may just have the edge to start the season opener at Villa Park, but Murphy still has a big role to play.
Newcastle 2-1 Espanyol
Jacob Murphy looks to turn provider as he sends in a tasty ball towards Sean Neave but it's cleared by Espanyol.
Newcastle 2-1 Espanyol
Newcastle fans will be happy to see Jacob Murphy among the goals once again after his eight in the Premier League last season.
They'll be wanting more of the same from next week.

Former Chelsea winger on Channel 5
I see this group of players definitely getting better. I've seen them improve over the past year or two. I can also see that the players they are bringing in are better than the ones that were there before and have left.
They were top four last season in the Premier League. They'll want to do at least that this season. With what they have brought in and how they have started, that will not surprise me in the slightest if they do that again, even though other teams are getting stronger as well.
Jacob Murphy (77 mins)
Disastrous defending from Espanyol!
The Spaniards may be from Barcelona but they can't play it out from the back like them as Ramon Terrats has the ball robbed before Jacob Murphy slots home with ease.
Newcastle 1-1 Espanyol
Tyrhys Dolan's corner is kept alive for a bit of pinball before Lewis Miley clears the danger and Newcastle regain control of the ball.
Newcastle 1-1 Espanyol
Tyrhys Dolan slips the ball the through to Jose Salinas as Espanyol win a corner.

We are going to have to talk about Estevao Willian. I don't like to put too much pressure on the young man. However...there is a certain type of player they love here. Joe Cole, Eden Hazard, Gianfranco Zola...and Estevao has got that wee bit of something special.
I'm not saying he is there. Obviously not. It's very early days. But he has got the capabilities to do that and it's exciting moments for him.
Newcastle 1-1 Espanyol
It's a really well worked free-kick for Newcastle as William Osula's strike is turned behind for a corner before the Magpies win yet another foul in a similar area.
