Chelsea fans were worried at the start of the season with rumours of their top players leaving the club. So far only Courtois has left and he's been adequately replaced and it looks as if Hazard and Willian will stay at Stamford Bridge. New boss Maurizio Sarri has seen his side get off to a great start with two wins out of two beating Huddersfield Town away and Arsenal at home scoring six goals in the process.  All achieved with only substitute appearances by Hazard. Alonso has impressed in the two games played so far with two goals and assists making him a perfect signing for all you Fantasy Football players out there. Chelsea have won four of their last five away league games, the other being a 3-0 defeat at Newcastle but they arrive in the North East in much better form this time.

The Newcastle fans are also a bit gloomy and extremely frustrated with owner Mike Ashley and the lack of signings being made by the club. Kenedy can't play in this game as he's on loan from Chelsea but after his performance against Cardiff last weekend that won't upset too many fans. Newcastle have just the one point from two games, starting the season with a home defeat by Tottenham (who made even fewer signings than Newcastle did) and then a goalless draw at Cardiff with a last minute penalty missed. The home side lack consistency and star names and the tip here is for Chelsea to make it three wins out of three.
