Graham Potter has new Chelsea undroppable against Newcastle amid Thiago Silva injury worry

Trevoh Chalobah was brought in from the cold against AC Milan at Stamford Bridge in Graham Potter's third match in charge, the defender had been a bit-part player at the start of the season for Thomas Tuchel and lost his place to Wesley Fofana once the new manager came in.

Since then he hasn't missed a single minute of action. Partly down to the injuries around him and partly down to the incredible form he has shown, the 23-year-old has been a staple across a challenging six weeks at Chelsea that has shown more about his mentality than it has his ability.
