 The beasts of pandemic football don't have too much time to rest now.

They have at least a weekend off in the Premier League, meeting Newcastle on Monday.

In last night's 1-0 win over Barnsley, Thomas Tuchel listed a number of his main players in FA Cup 5th Round game.

We hope, however, that some of them will return to the Newcastle fold. Tammy Abraham did enough to warrant that his position was retained, though Callum Hudson-Odoi was almost non-droppable.

Kai Havertz and Thiago Silva were both injured, so Monday is possibly too early to participate.

Predicted Xl –

(3-4-2-1): Mendy, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger. James, Kovacic, Jorginho, Chilwell. Hudson-Odoi, Mount, Abraham.
