Newcastle boss Alan Pardew makes his second change of the game as Remy Cabella, handed a start after impressing against Burnley, is replaced by Papiss Cisse.

Members of the Newcastle squad watching on are offering their support to Jak Alnwick on Twitter, as the youngster comes on for his Premier League debut.

Adam Campbell:, external Buzzing for Jak Alnwick! Enjoy it bro.

Doug in Cumbria: Would be funny if Chelsea go the season unbeaten but finish second. Newcastle will be happy with a draw but Chelsea shouldn't be.

"What a big half for Jak Alnwick. Newcastle are not having the best of luck with injuries at the minute, but it's a real opportunity for the youngster. I would have thought he will have a fair few saves to make."

Jak Alnwick is called into action for the first time as he strides off his line to confidently punch away a Cesc Fabregas free-kick. It wasn't a goal-denying save, but it will do his confidence some good.

Ben McSkelly: Pleasant surprise as a Newcastle fan so far. Although Cheick Tiote keeps losing the ball in dangerous positions.

Aashish: Expect Chelsea to up the tempo in the second half and start moving through the gears as Newcastle have been very organised.

Moussa Sissoko clips the foot of Cesar Azpilicueta and is shown the first yellow card of the game. An unfortunate one too, as it is his fifth of the season and will mean a suspension.

Second half is under way.

Gavin Richmond: Well done Newcastle United. Rode our luck for spells but strong finish to the half. Second half is where we flourish! Let's take it to them.

Simon: Very savvy of Pardew not to score in first half hour of games in my opinion. We all know how dangerous a one goal lead is in the Premier League.

Paul Moore: The wheels are coming off the Chelsea band-wagon! City for the title!

Not good news for Newcastle if goalkeeper Rob Elliot fails to re-emerge in the second half after limping off at half-time. With Tim Krul also injured, the man who would have to step in is academy keeper Jak Alnwick.

The 20-year-old has not made a first-team appearance in a competitive game for Newcastle, having mostly played at reserve level. His experience of senior football is a loan spell at Gateshead.

A massive game, then, to make his debut IF he has to come on.

Rob in Sheffield: Actually think losing a game would be good for Chelsea. They are getting a bit edgy and it would take the pressure off them. Better to lose one then win four than a series of draws. Manchester City are improving and Chelsea can't afford to slow down.

"Situated precariously immediately above the bottom three, there's an increasing uneasiness among the fans of both Hull City and West Bromwich Albion.

"While statistics can sometimes be misleading, those regarding the two clubs are difficult to view positively - the Tigers have secured just one win in their last 13 games, the Baggies only one in eight.

"It's now 16 years since all three promoted teams were immediately relegated back to the second tier, and with QPR and Burnley in particular now building some momentum, it can only serve to increase the anxiety for the likes of Hull and West Brom."

"Liverpool look capable of scoring a few on current form as they look for a third win on the spin for the first time this season.

"Sunderland's defence was run ragged by Manchester City in the week after it was so solid against Chelsea. Ageing defenders couldn't cope with two tough games in a week - and here's a third tough task ahead of them.

"It's 31 years since Sunderland won at Anfield. I can't see that miserable drought ending.

"If Sunderland are as stubborn as they were against Chelsea , and bearing in mind Liverpool's creative limitations at home this season at times, this will be a tricky afternoon for the Reds."

John Motson
BBC Match of the Day commentator

"QPR manager Harry Redknapp has aptly described this match as "a real six-pointer", their second in a row at Loftus Road. I can't imagine this will be a five-goal thriller like last weekend's win over Leicester but, if anyone is going to score, you would bet on it being Charlie Austin or Danny Ings.

"Burnley have improved, there's no doubt about that. Eight points from four matches is a sound statement by a team perhaps now attuned to the demands of the Premier League.

"Notwithstanding QPR's good home form and Burnley's improvement, it looks like it will be a real struggle all season for both clubs. If either were given the option now of survival on the last day of the season, I would think they would take that."

Alan Green
BBC Match of the Day commentator

"I've witnessed two of Tottenham's last three league games and each time I've left the ground wondering if the coach was still trying to work out what represented his best team. Mind you, they won both those games.

"Despite Palace's rabid inconsistency - they beat Liverpool, drew at Swansea and then managed to lose at home to Villa in midweek - Warnock's team have scratched their way out of the bottom three.

"No one, least of all Warnock himself, will pretend that it will take anything other than a gargantuan effort to avoid relegation, as it did last season, but I just like their gritty, determined approach. They are perfectly capable of causing upsets."

"Arsenal's reaction since defeat by Manchester United has been encouraging, with their three wins accompanied by three clean sheets - an area they had to improve.

"They know those standards have to be maintained as they head to the Britannia Stadium, where they've often had uncomfortable times in recent years, with just one win in their last eight visits.

"Stoke boss Mark Hughes has been disappointed with his side's home form so far: seven points from 18 and three defeats already, the same total as all of last season.

"They've been unlucky in their last two matches at Anfield and Old Trafford and now face Arsenal and Chelsea in their next two home games in a testing period."

After this game there are five Premier League fixtures kicking off at 15:00 GMT. Time for a quick look at what is coming up...

"Alan Pardew will be delighted with 0-0 at half-time. Chelsea have dominated the play, even though Newcastle had the best chance through Jack Colback (see 31 mins). Rob Elliot, in the Newcastle goal, hasn't really had a save to make."
