Match Preview
Chelsea and Newcastle will both be aiming to achieve a European finish this season. However, the challenge for both teams this weekend is to return to winning ways.
The Blues were beaten at Anfield in their previous outing, despite putting in a spirited display at Liverpool. Eddie Howe’s long-term future looks assured following Thomas Tuchel’s appointment as England boss. But, Newcastle will need to end a four-game winless sequence to enhance their Champions League hopes.
Chelsea have an eye-catching record against the Magpies after losing just once in their last 29 home matches. Their only defeat was suffered in May 2012. Since then, Chelsea have won 21 times, and seven draws have been played out.

However, it could be worth noting Newcastle’s recent results against the Blues after winning two of their last four meetings in the Premier League. Interestingly, Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 19 matches against sides that finished last season outside of the top three positions.
Newcastle started the season in excellent form after winning three of their first four. However, they have now gone their last four matches without a victory. The Magpies haven’t gone five without a win in the Premier League since March 2023.
A youthful approach has been taken by Chelsea this term, as they have the youngest average starting eleven at 23 years and 220 days. They are the only team in the top flight yet to field a player older than 27.
Chelsea vs. Newcastle Picks
Newcastle’s attacking threat has been minimal in recent weeks, and that lack of cutting edge could be hard to dismiss this weekend. Therefore, the preference is for Chelsea to return to winning ways on Sunday.
