Chelsea FanCast

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Alex Churchill to look ahead to Saturday's match against Newcastle.

In part one, Adam Newson from Football.London joins us to look back at Chelsea's Carabao Cup victory over Southampton in midweek where despite imjury related changes, a make shift Chelsa side got the job done. We ask who impressed and who didn’t and does the win prove that Chelsea has a good enough and big enough squad to cope with the fixture congestion in December and beyond? We also report back on today's Press Conference, talk Chelsea's injuries, the title challenge and the Rudiger and Christensen contract situation.

In part two, we preview Newcastle v Chelsea match. What's the likely team selection; we look at two Newcastle myths - that they are a bogey side for us when we play up there and that now they have money, they can be considered a big club. Also will the euphoria cuased by the arrival of Saudi money and the deprture of Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce produce a bounce against us on Saturday. We wrap up with how we see it going and give our predictions.
