Hello. Do you want an MBM of Chelsea vs Newcastle? You can't handle an MBM of Chelsea vs Newcastle!

One of those tame crosses was from Cabella, who chipped a ball into the six-yard box for Cech.

Cabella cross into the box after a few stepovers, and it curls into Matic's hand. Newcastle have a free kick on the right hand side of the box. Colback will curl in the ball, and it's headed away.

Newcastle win a corner on the right. Cabella takes, and it doesn't clear the first man. Harrumph.

Azpilicueta stretches for a Matic ball down the left, but he can't keep it in play. Krul punts the goal kick away.

Chelsea dominate possesion, with Matic's pass for Zouma a fraction away from being intercepted. Sissoko is later set free by Perez down the left, he cuts onto his right in the box, and dribbles a shot at goal.

Chelsea's Twitter account displays some vile pro-Chelsea bias.

The game gets underway, with Rob Brown going in hard on Mike Williamson.

Confidence from Phineas, here.

10 minutes to go. I'm going to predict a 2-1 win for Chelsea. Cech to score all three. Let me know your predictions on @lxndrnthrtn.

And there's now been a late change for Newcastle with their subs.

Courtois is on the bench because he LAMBASTED Mourinho in the dressing room and then SHOCKED the world of football by SLAPPING in a transfer request.

Wait, no. He just has a bit of a thumb problem.

A start for Kurt Zouma, who is perhaps best known for this tackle, which saw him banned for 10 games.

TEAMS: Cech, Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Fabregas, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Diego Costa. Subs: Courtois, Cahill, Filipe Luis, Mikel, Ramires, Remy, Drogba. /// Newcastle: Krul, Janmaat, Coloccini, Williamson, Dummett, Sissoko, Anita, Colback, Cabella, Perez, Gouffran. Subs: Woodman, Santon, Haidara, Ameobi, Vuckic, Armstrong, Riviere.

John Carver (Newcastle caretaker manager): "The fact I have put my hat in the ring, some people will say I was crazy, but I want to do it. We finished fifth a couple of years ago and that was fantastic - so why can't we push fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth? There's all this talk that the club is happy to sit in the top 10. But no - set your marker as high as you can and if you can get there then what an achievement. "We've proved we're capable of that when we had our recent run of six wins on the bounce."

Chelsea assistant manager Steve Holland on the possibility of moving for Lionel Messi: "Jose has made it quite clear his expectations are that nobody comes and nobody goes during the transfer window. We're perfectly happy with what we have. It's not a decision I personally would make. When you look at the numbers being mentioned around Messi, I would think it's an impossible deal for any club working within the financial fair play rules."
