John Arundell: Chelsea have taken their foot of the accelerater, big European game coming up and why risk injuries when we look comfortable.

Adaam Saalter: Newcastle are just so, so boring. They’re playing, but there is just nothing there. Compare that to Leeds yesterday. They lost as well, but they were still exciting to watch. This is just dreary.

And a final change for Newcastle.

Big man Andy Carroll on for Joe Willock.

It's great that Chelsea have the option of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James - I think they're both really talented players.

Sub Reece James scores almost seconds after coming on but a low shot at the near post is saved in unorthodox fashion by Karl Darlow.

Think it look a nick off Jamal Lewis which is why Darlow looked so awkward in making the stop with his legs.

A last Chelsea change.

Callum Hudson-Odoi replaced by Reece James.

It has been a better performance from Newcastle in this second half. It's one of those situations where they have to try and respond and they have been far more positive.

Superb save from Kepa Arrizabalaga, diving full stretch to his left to push away Joe Willock's flicked header.

It was bound for the corner but the Chelsea goalkeeper got across brilliantly.

Eduoard Mendy has a task to retain his number one shirt on this showing.

Looking at the replay again, I am bewildered.

Penalties are thrown around like confetti at the moment, but a blatant push from Jamaal Lascelles does not warrant a spot-kick.

No idea.

Jared Maobe: In the 1st half Chelsea were great, quick sleek and should have scored 3 or four... then 2nd half they suddenly look slow and just normal against a poor Newcastle.

Ryan Fraser on for Newcastle with just under 20 minute to go.

Allan Saint-Maximin the man coming off.

Timo Werner in behind and goes tumbling down in the box with Jamaal Lascelles in close attendance but referee Peter Bankes waves play on.

Was there a push? It looked like it.

VAR says no as well. Not sure why.

A change for Chelsea with 20 minutes remaining.

The energetic N'Golo Kante on for Mason Mount to manage the game for the home side and see it through.

Marcos Alonso has been in full attacking mode at all game and gets forward to meet a cross but his header is straight at Karl Darlow.

Then Callum Hudson-Odoi flashes a low cross across the six yard box but Timo Werner and Olivier Giroud are on their heels and the chance is lost.

Chelsea lacking a little composure in that final third as Callum Hudson-Odoi finds himself in a good position but aimlessly drills a low cross which is blocked.

Needed more finesse and care on with it.

Here comes a Newcastle change.

Joelinton is on...for Dwight Gayle?! He played? I didn't mention him a single time in his 64 minutes on the pitch.

Cheeky from Jonjo Shelvey, trying to catch Kepa Arrizabalaga out with a shot from close to the halfway line but the Spanish goalkeeper deals with it very coolly, taking the ball on his chest and letting it drop to his feet.

There's a keeper in there somewhere and it looks like Thomas Tuchel might have found it.

Kepa has been very assured with everything he has done tonight.

Chelsea could really have had a bagful tonight if they had their shooting boots on.

This time Mateo Kovacic curls over from the edge of the area from Callum Hudson-Odoi's knockdown.

Chelsea get out to the other end for the first time and Karl Darlow has to react to push away Mason Mount's cross.

This has been much better from Newcastle in the second half.

Allan Saint-Maximin is the threat, digging out a cross towards the near post but Joe Willock clips the effort wide.

You look at the recent performances of Newcastle, second half against Leeds they were unlucky not to get anything out of the game and against Everton they were superb and against Crystal Palace they had the better chances. The win against Southampton when they finished the game with nine men - Steve Bruce certainly hasn't lost the dressing room.
