The effects of the takeover at Newcastle United haven’t been felt yet, at least as far as results are concerned, and this is a narrative the Magpies will want to change when Chelsea visits. Newcastle are placed 19th in the Premier League standings with four points, while Chelsea are top with 22 points. In their 10 matches this season, Newcastle are winless and have just one clean sheet, that came in the League Cup against Burnley, a low scoring side. However, Newcastle have failed to score in just two of their last 10 matches. Both teams have scored in eight of their 10 matches and in six of them, Newcastle have conceded two or more goals. In their last 24 league matches, the Magpies have managed just four wins, and at home, they have one win in the last seven in the league. Head to head, they aren’t doing so well in this fixture, having won just one of seven matches against Chelsea.

Chelsea on the other hand, are enjoying a great season and are very well in the title race. Ahead of this game they drew 1-1 with Southampton in the League Cup then went on to win on post match penalties. They rested key men for that game and against Newcastle it will be back to full strength. Romelu Lukaku, Cristian Pulisic and Timo Werner are all out of this game with injury but the Blues have enough quality to replace them. Defender Ben Chilwell will be hoping to add on the three goals he has scored in the last three league matches and Mason Mount, fresh from a hat trick against Norwich will be fired up for this. Chelsea have scored in 13 of their 15 matches this season and go to this game on three clean sheets in the last four games. They have the best defence in the league and are unbeaten in the last four away league matches, with three clean sheets in the process. In the last four meetings with Newcastle, Chelsea have kept three clean sheets.
