Chelsea vs Newcastle: The Predictions
Contents
Chelsea are the big favourites to beat Newcastle in the Premier League this weekend but the hosts have a big match coming up in the Champions League which could take the majority of their focus, while the Magpies arrive in great form and Eddie Howe has his players putting in consistently good performances at the moment.
Newcastle Double Chance
We're going against the odds and backing Newcastle to secure a win or a draw on Sunday despite the fact that the Magpies have only won one of their last four encounters with Chelsea. Chelsea have only lost one of their last six matches in all competitions and that was on penalties in the League Cup final but Newcastle have secured five wins and one draw from their last six league games. Off the field issues could also cause an issue for Chelsea this weekend, while Newcastle will be fully focused and looking to exploit any opportunities the home side present.
Under 2.5 Goals
We're not expecting a lot of goals in this game as four of the last five meetings between these two clubs have witnessed fewer than three goals scored. Under 2.5 goals have also been produced in three of Chelsea's and three of Newcastle's last six outings in all competitions, so you can see why we're expecting a low-scoring 90-minutes on Sunday.

Chelsea face tough home game against an in-form Newcastle
In midweek, Chelsea made the trip to Norwich looking to secure the 3pts they needed to keep the pressure on Liverpool and Man City above them. It only took 3-minutes for Chalobah to put Chelsea in front and with 14-minutes on the clock, Mount made it 2-0. In the second half, Norwich pulled a goal back via a Pukki penalty but in the last minute of the game, Havertz scored to wrap up a 3-1 win for the visitors.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup: Mendy, Silva, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Chalobah, Saúl, Kovačić, Jorginho, Mount, Havertz & Werner
Newcastle made the trip to Southampton on Thursday night but fell behind in the 25th-minute. However, Chris Wood equalised for the visitors just after the half-hour mark, with Shelvey claiming an assist, and in the second half, Guimaraes scored his first goal for the Magpies and Eddie Howe's men held on to secure yet another impressive win.
Newcastle Predicted Lineup: Dúbravka, Schär, Burn, Krafth, Targett, Shelvey, Fraser, Murphy, Willock, Guimarães & Wood
