Gary Cahill is expected to replace Kurt Zouma when Chelsea face Newcastle at Stamford Bridge on Saturday Night Football. Ray Allen Jersey . Zouma suffered a serious knee injury in last Sundays draw with Manchester United and will miss the rest of the season, with Cahill set to start for the first time in the league since Boxing Day.The Blues are on their longest unbeaten run of the campaign, but six of the nine games have ended in draws and Newcastle have often proved tricky opponents. Kurt Zouma suffered a serious knee injury against Manchester United The Magpies have taken more points off Chelsea than any other team over the last five seasons (13), and Steve McClarens side were 2-0 up in the reverse fixture in September before two late goals pegged them back.Team newsCahill is set to partner John Terry in defence, but its in attack where Chelsea could be short. Diego Costa broke his nose in a training session but Guus Hiddink confirmed he is still in contention to start.Loic Remy (calf) has been out in recent weeks along with Radamel Falcao (thigh), while Alexandre Pato is short of match fitness and unlikely to be included. Diego Costa will have to play against Newcastle with a broken nose Jack Colback (hamstring) and Emmanuel Riviere (knee) are in contention for Newcastle after both returned to training this week.After Chelsea, they have 18 days between matches, and McClaren hopes the break will allow three or four players to return from his lengthy injury list. Asprilla to blame? Faustino Asprilla wrongly blamed for Newcastles failed 1996 title bid? Opta statsIn the last 11 meetings between Chelsea and Newcastle, the Blues have failed to win if they didnt keep a clean sheet (D3 L4).Papiss Cisse has scored four goals in five top-flight appearances against Chelsea.

Mersons predictionNewcastle played really last week against West Brom and could have won by four or five. But, in the end, it was only 1-0 and West Brom had a chance to equalise late on, so its worrying they didnt put the game to bed. Chelsea are a different side now the players want to have a go, they have really picked up under Hiddink.Ive got to take Newcastles dismal showing at Everton last week into consideration though, so Im backing Chelsea here. Newcastles away form has a greater influence than their impressive home performances.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 (Sky Bet odds 9/1) Costa has been in excellent form under Hiddink BettingChelsea are 4/9 favourites with Sky Bet ahead of their SNF clash with Newcastle 11/2, while the draw is trading at 10/3.

Malcolm Brogdon Jersey . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. Jason Terry Jersey . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times. http://www.cheapbucksjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-jabari-parker-jersey .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- After an excruciating, exhilarating overtime win at Wisconsin, Ohio State began preparing on Monday to play in another loud, hostile environment.Penn States Beaver Stadium, with a capacity of more than 106,000, is known as one of the toughest places to play in the country. Add that its a Saturday night and the annual white-out game -- when fans dress in all white -- and it will be all the more raucous.With about 20,000 more people there, the decibel level may exceed that of Camp Randall Stadium, where the Buckeyes defense silenced the crowd with a game-ending sack of Badgers quarterback Alex Hornibrook in overtime Saturday night to win 30-23.The last time Ohio State (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) played at Beaver Stadium was another nail-biter. Quarterback J.T. Barrett scored two touchdowns in overtime, and the Buckeyes escaped with a 31-24 double-overtime win in 2014. They went on to win the national championship.Penn State (4-2, 2-1) is off to a 4-0 start at home and has won 10 of its last 11 there dating back to last season.(I) wish they saved the white-outs for other games, but I guess they used it for our game, coach Urban Meyer said Monday. Its one of the top five atmospheres, again, in college football.Linebacker Chris Worley, who experienced the atmosphere at Penn State two years ago, is trying to help prepare the younger players for the hostile stadiums.Camp Randall was a crazy place, and Penn State is a crazy place as well, Worley said. For me, Im pretty prepared and I know what to expect. Theres some guys who think they know what to expect, and its not going to be what they think.Barrett carried the load again against Wisconsin, his demeanor so steady at all times that one couldnt tell by looking at him whether his team was winning or losing. Cheap NBA Jerseys. He put the Buckeyes ahead in OT with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Noah Brown. He ran for two more, becoming Ohio States all-time leader in touchdowns (rushing and passing). He rushed for 92 yards in the 30-23 win and was named Big Ten co-offensive player of the week.Im just trying to win games around here, honestly, he said. Records are good and all, and maybe Ill appreciate them more when Im 40 or 50, but right now I dont think records really matter if we dont win.For the second time in a row, Ohio States passing game was slightly off-kilter, with Barrett hitting his biggest passes on improvised plays after he was chased out of the pocket and scrambling. But nobody seems to be panicking.Were OK, Meyer said. Were going to get keep getting better at it. Hes a very good passer. When youre the No. 1 quarterback in the history of Ohio State University, youre doing OK.Barrett said its just a matter of working more on timing with receivers.WHAT PENALTY?: Meyer griped about the penalty called on him for sideline interference in the second quarter against Wisconsin. A referee struck him in the head while wind-milling to keep the clock running. Meyer said the ref barely grazed his headset and that it shouldnt have been an infraction.That broke my heart, Meyer said. To put your players in a 15-yard penalty for that in a big game. Some will say, `Well, thats just the rule. Get rid of the (darn) rule. Thats not a good rule.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacy ' ' '
