Michy Batshuayi starts for Chelsea in the FA Cup fourth-round game at Stamford Bridge, where Cesc Fabregas is among the Blues substitutes.

With Alvaro Morata sidelined, Batshuayi gets another chance to impress up front, where he will be supported by Pedro and Eden Hazard.

Fabregas has recovered from a hamstring problem and is joined on the bench by Ross Barkley and youngsters Charly Musonda, Ethan Ampadu and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Chelsea make four changes, with Gary Cahill, Davide Zappacosta, Danny Drinkwater and Batshuayi coming in for Cesar Azpilicueta, Victor Moses, Tiemoue Bakayoko and the injured Willian.

Newcastle, meanwhile, make five changes and are still without Florian Lejeune, who has a foot injury.

Chelsea: Caballero; Rudiger, Christensen, Cahill; Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Kante, Alonso; Pedro, Batshuayi, Hazard.
Subs: Eduardo, Ampadu, Moses, Fabregas, Barkley, Musonda, Hudson-Odoi.

Newcastle: Darlow, Manquillo, Mbemba, Lascelles, Clark, Haïdara, Shelvey, Saivet, Hayden, Ritchie, Gayle.
Subs: Woodman, Yedlin, Dummett, Diamé, Atsu, Murphy, Joselu.
