Newcastle United fans have had their say on who Eddie Howe should play against Chelsea in today's match at St James' Park.
The Magpies return to Tyneside in the Premier League after defeating Southampton 4-1 at St Mary's last weekend. Callum Wilson was withdrawn at the break due to illness and will face a late fitness test to determine whether he will feature against Chelsea.
He missed out on Newcastle's midweek Carabao Cup tie against Crystal Palace at St James', which the Magpies won on penalties after a goalless draw. Newcastle are unbeaten in nine league games and have won six of their last seven league games.
In the fans' line-up, there are two changes to the starting XI that faced Southampton in Hampshire.

Nick Pope has retained his place between the sticks, while the back-four of Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman and Dan Burn are tipped to start for the eighth straight game.
Bruno Guimaraes stays in midfield along with Sean Longstaff, although Joe Willock has been withdrawn to facilitate Joelinton's return from suspension.
Supporters have stuck with Wilson despite his recent illness and Miguel Almiron has inevitably been backed to keep his position on the right wing.
The second and final change comes on the left with Allan Saint-Maximin replacing Jacob Murphy. Saint-Maximin hasn't started for Newcastle in the Premier League since August due to injury, but played the full 90 minutes against Palace on Wednesday.
Newcastle fans XI (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin.
