Chelsea Confirmed lineup vs Newcastle: Willian starts; Hazard as False Nine

Eden Hazard returns to a central role for Chelsea as Maurizio Sarri names his starting eleven for the match against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge.

As expected, Maurizio Sarri has named the same back four and a midfield three identical to the time when Chelsea were notching up straight wins early on in the season.

The only change, and an expected one, is the return of Eden Hazard in a central role, with Willian and Pedro on either side of the Belgian superstar.
