Newcastle boss Bobby Robson has no injury worries ahead of his side's crucial top of the table clash against Chelsea on Saturday.
The Magpies are looking to clock up their fifth straight victory, and Robson will keep faith with the same side which thumped Middlesbrough 3-0 on Boxing day.
Kieron Dyer is getting stronger with every game, and will start again. It had seemed that the former Ipswich man would need a break in-between Christmas and New Year games, but his fitness has amazed everyone at the club. Having been out for so long, to play so many games in such a short space of time, is remarkable.
A win for Newcastle against such strong Premiership rivals would surely mean the Toon Army are well and truly in the title frame.
