Chelsea will look to collect three valuable points to keep the pace in the Premier League top-five race when Newcastle United visit Stamford Bridge at the weekend, but they’ll have to do so without star winger Pedro Neto, who’ll miss his second straight game through suspension.
Neto served a one-game suspension against Aston Villa after he was sent off for two yellow cards in Chelsea’s bout against Arsenal on March 1. However, the English Football Association (FA) announced on Friday that Neto has been anded an extra one-match ban for "misconduct” following the red card at Emirates Stadium.
