Chelsea host Newcastle United in a huge Saturday evening Premier League clash, as the Blues look to strengthen their push for a place in next seaosn's Champions League.
Last week's superb 4-1 win at Aston Villa kept Chelsea in fifth position and means they are now just three points behind third placed Manchester United. After dropping points in each of their last two home games (against Burnley and Leeds), Liam Rosenior's side will be desperate to get back to winning ways at Stamford Bridge.
Newcastle's Premier League season has struggled to get out of second gear, although last week's dramatic 2-1 win over Manchester United is sure to have given Eddie Howe's side a big boost as they look to force their way into the battle for European places.

Our Chelsea vs Newcastle Prediction
Given Chelsea's poor home form, plus Newcastle's lack of consistency, we think the smart option here is to avoid the moneyline and instead look at the total goals markets.
The likes of Anthony Gordon, Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer are all in excellent form, so both goalkeepers could be in for a tough time on Saturday evening.
When you also consider the fact that both Chelsea and Newcastle have displayed plenty of defensive vulnerabilities in recent weeks, we are confident that there will be plenty of goals at Stamford Bridge.
Our prediction for Chelsea vs Newcastle United is: Over 3.5 goals.
