The title may have already been won but there's still plenty of excitement in the Premier League. Newcastle United are fourth in the table and on Sunday are home to fifth-placed Chelsea. Can the Magpies get a vital home win? Read our match prediction below.
United are already guaranteed a place in European competition next season. That's because of their victory in this season's Carabao Cup but it's Champions League football they really want. They are ahead of Chelsea on goals scored with three games remaining and two above Nottingham Forest in sixth place. The midlands club don't play until later on Sunday afternoon so the gap can be widened.
Chelsea secured a place in the Conference League final on Thursday evening. The Blues want a return to the Champions League but they still have to travel to Nottingham Forest on the final day of the season and aren't always the most reliable of clubs on the road.

Newcastle & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Chelsea may have reached the Conference League final but they can't relax for a minute in the build-up to that match. Every match for the rest of the season is going to be like a cup final as they attempt to get back into the Champions League.
They made plenty of changes for the Conference League win over Djurgardens and will again be rotating their squad for this visit to Newcastle United. As many as eight changes could be made as Chelsea try to earn at least a point from this match.
Chelsea need to score more away league goals.
Of the team that won on Thursday, it looks as if only Malo Gusto, Marc Cucurella and Reece James might retain their places. Chelsea will be looking for more from their midfield and strikers. Just one goal has been scored in their last three away Premier League fixtures.
Cole Palmer hasn't scored an away league goal since January and you have to go all the way back to November since Nicolas Jackson last netted on their travels. With their opponents in good scoring form, Chelsea have to find their scoring boots.
Newcastle are hopeful that Kieran Trippier and Fabian Schar are both fit for this game. They went off in the latter stages of last weekend's 1-1 draw at Brighton. If that is the case, then that will be great news for their defence.
Up front, Isak remains in good form with goals in three of their last four matches. The last two have both come from the penalty spot.
