Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says his side played well enough to take something from the game after a 2-1 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

There was no lavish, £200m-plus spend on Tyneside, as Howe welcomed two backup goalkeepers, Lloyd Kelly on a free transfer and an inexperienced striker in William Osula to his ranks after Hall's permanent move was confirmed.

Enzo Maresca’s slick Chelsea side host a Newcastle team in need of a result. Join Daniel Harris. On paper, this looks like a cracking contest. Two flawed but enterprising teams, both filled with attacking talent and the ever-present risk of implosion.
