Thomas Tuchel makes three changes from Chelsea last Premier League outing, the big win over Norwich a week ago.

N’Golo Kante returned to the squad as Andreas Christensen replaces Trevoh Chalobah in the back-three.

Hakim Ziyech started in the absence of Mason Mount.

James Reece stole the show at St James Stadium as he scored a brace followed with another Jorginho’s penalty that confirmed a win for the Blues.

Tuchel in his post -match conference hailed Reece and said he could give him chance to push forward .

“Reece is allowed to come inside, it’s not a problem,’ Tuchel confirmed as he analysed the win.

“It’s about all the spaces where we want to attack from.

“We have players in all the spaces where we want to be dangerous so if there is a winger pinned wide or waiting wide, Reece is absolutely allowed to take the space.

“We need the wing-backs to arrive also in the box in the end of our attacks.’
