Chelsea will be looking to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they travel to Newcastle United in the Premier League on January 18.

The Blues have beaten Nottingham Forest and Burnley in the FA Cup and Premier League respectively in their last two matches.

Saturday's 3-0 success over the Clarets saw Frank Lampard's side consolidate fourth position in the table, with fifth-placed Manchester United five points behind on the same number of matches.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Chelsea's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Steve Bruce's side at St James' Park.
