We\u2019ve got two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/premierleague\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Premier League<\/a> games coming up at 3pm (BST), with action at Stamford Bridge and St James\u2019 Park as west London goes up against north-east England.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Fresh from dispatching Ajax in the Champions League in midweek, Chelsea are at home to Sunderland this afternoon looking to gain some ground on the leaders, Arsenal. Enzo Maresca\u2019s side can go within two points of top spot with a win \u2013 but, then again, so can the visitors after their excellent start to the campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Newcastle were also winners in midweek, making light work of Jos\u00e9 Mourinho\u2019s Benfica. Today they\u2019re up against Fulham, who are without a handful of regulars in what is approaching an injury crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">I\u2019ll be bringing you updates from both games, with a particular focus on Stamford Bridge, while keeping across events in the EFL, Scotland and Europe\u2019s major leagues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Team news is on the way shortly.
