Newcastle vs Chelsea: The Predictions
Newcastle continue their push for the Champions League places at home to Chelsea on Saturday. The visitors had been tipped to challenge for the Premier League title this season but find themselves 13pts adrift of the league leaders and 5pts off the top four as things stand.
Newcastle to Win
Newcastle don't have the best of records against Chelsea, especially in recent seasons, but form favours the hosts this weekend and we're backing Howe's men to secure all 3pts. The Magpies have won four of their last six matches in all competitions and look full of confidence right now. Chelsea have lost three of their last four matches in league and cup, ending Potter's honeymoon, and we believe they will struggle at St James' Park this weekend.
Miguel Almiron to Score
Almiron is the most in-form midfielder in the Premier League right now and is enjoying his best form since making the move to Newcastle from the MLS. The Paraguay international top scores in the league for Newcastle with 8-goals and we're backing the midfielder to score against Chelsea this weekend. Almiron has scored in each of his last four league games for Newcastle and has been deadly from inside and outside of the box this season.

Newcastle the favourites at home to Chelsea
Newcastle made the long trip down to Southampton last weekend where a goal from Almiron put the visitors 1-0 up at the break. Chris Wood came on at halftime and scored just before the hour mark to make it 2-0. Willock put the game beyond doubt with Newcastle's third goal in the 62nd-minute and although the Saints pulled a goal back, Newcastle had the last laugh as Guimaraes made it 4-1 in stoppage-time.
Newcastle Predicted Lineup: Pope, Trippier, Schär, Burn, Botman, Almirón, Murphy, Willock, Guimarães, Longstaff & Wood
Chelsea played host to the league leaders Arsenal in their last league game. A tight and tense 90-minutes was settled by a solitary goal from Arsenal defender Gabriel in the 63rd-minute. Potter's reign at Chelsea started positively but he can now see just how much work there is still to do to make Chelsea competitive in the Premier League once again.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup: Mendy, Silva, Azpilicueta, Cucurella, Chalobah, Kovačić, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Havertz, Aubameyang & Sterling
Team News
Newcastle: Alexander Isak, Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser, Matt Ritchie, Emil Krafth and Paul Dummett are all injury concerns for the hosts.
Chelsea: N'Golo Kante, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Jorginho, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Wesley Fofana and Reece James all look set to miss the trip to St James' Park.
