Chelsea manager Antonio Conte makes four changes as the Blues take on Newcastle United in the FA Cup.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has made four changes as the Blues take on Newcastle United in the FA Cup fourth round this afternoon.

Willy Caballero continues in goal after the midweek EFL Cup defeat to Arsenal, while Gary Cahill replaces Cesar Azpilicueta in defence.

In midfield, Davide Zappacosta and Danny Drinkwater replace Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso respectively. There is a place on the bench for Spaniard Cesc Fabregas, who suffered a hamstring injury earlier this month.

Up front, Michy Batshuayi comes in for the injured Willian, who is still sidelined alongside Thibaut Courtois and Alvaro Morata.

For Newcastle, manager Rafael Benitez opts for a back four of Javier Manquillo, Chancel Mbemba, Jamaal Lascelles and Ciaran Clark.

Jonjo Shelvey partners Henri Saivet, while Dwight Gayle starts up top.

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

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