Chelsea resumes its pursuit of Champions League qualification on Saturday as the Stamford Bridge club welcomes Newcastle to West London.
The Blues look to be heading out of this season's edition of the European competition after conceding two late goals to lose 5-2 to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this week, and Liam Rosenior will be keen for his side to return to winning ways in the league in its quest to finish inside the Premier League 's top five come May.
Newcastle also suffered late disappointment in the Champions League, but not to such a damaging extent, as Lamine Yamal scored a late penalty to secure a 1-1 draw for Barcelona in the last-16 first leg.

What the managers have said
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior on team news: "Jamie [Gittens] is back involved, which is great news.
"Estevao is still a little bit further away. We want to be careful with Estevao because of the nature of his hamstring injury.
"The last thing we want to do is rush him back and see the injury recurring. So, we will see what he’s like for Tuesday’s game (second leg) against PSG."

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior during a press conference
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on facing Chelsea between games against Barcelona: "The players have responded pretty well, I think. Of course it was big disappointment at the end of the game (but) a lot of pride in the performance overall.
"This season, the players have built up really good resilience to results and disappointments and successes. We've had to take everything in our stride, because we know we've got another game just around the corner and you can't let what happened in one game affect the next.
"So we've tried very quickly to get our focus onto Chelsea. We know the week ahead's a big one, but we have to concentrate on this game.
"There's mental challenges for this game that we're going to have to try and get right, because obviously there'll be a lot of focus on the Barcelona game (second leg next week), and rightly so. But this game's a very tough one if we're not focused 100 per cent on Chelsea.
"They're a good team, a dangerous team. They've got some very good players, so playing them away from home in its own right in the Premier League will be viewed as one of the toughest away games we'll have. We can't go there under-prepared so it's a big job today to get the players ready."
