But if there’s one team outside the Big Six who can bring Lampard down to earth, it’s Steve Bruce’s Newcastle, who’ve started the season inconsistently themselves.

Team news
Ben Chilwell should be fit in time for his return to Chelsea after sustaining a back injury playing for England.
Otherwise, Chelsea could have close to a fully-fit squad for the game as Christian Pulisic looks to make his way back into the starting line-up.
Thiago Silva may get a rest after coming back from international duty with Brazil, however.
Newcastle will also have the majority of their squad fit but Steve Bruce may elect to rest some of the returning internationals.
In-form Callum Wilson will likely start for the Magpies, however.
Odds
- Newcastle – 11/2
- Draw – 10/3
- Chelsea – 1/2
