Newcastle United vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Newcastle United Team News
Newcastle United, one of the Premier League’s revelations, takes on Chelsea in the 36th round on Sunday. Both these teams will clash with each other for a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season, with Newcastle ranked fourth in the table.
With a 4-3-3 formation, manager Eddie Howe has been able to secure a lot of points for his team. Striker Alexander Isak has been the main player through whom these targets have been met. Isak has scored 23 goals so far this season and has an extremely impressive expected goal percentage of 19.95.
Midfielder Sandro Tonali, long dubbed as the next Andrea Pirlo, is among the most flamboyant players in the league, and he will have a big role in this game. Tonali is known for his excellent passing awareness as well as intelligent decision-making when looking to weigh passes to attackers, and this is what makes him such a good creator.
Eddie Howe on Chelsea challenge:
“We expect them to revert to their last league side, they performed very well against Liverpool, they have a lot of attacking players back in form so it should be a good game. We have played Chelsea twice this season – we know their qualities.… pic.twitter.com/on2756IhYz

He will be expected to carry this forward as much as possible while keeping a tab on his fellow attackers as well. Newcastle are among the most attack-minded sides in the Premier League this season, and they will not want to compromise on their style of play at all.
In this game, they will have to make do without the presence of Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton, Lewis Hall and Matt Targett, who have all been sidelined with injuries. Fabian Schär is a doubtful starter owing to lack of fitness.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Krafth, Burn, Livramento; Guimarães, Tonali, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Barnes.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea have won their last three matches in the Premier League and look all set to challenge other sides for a spot in the Champions League next season. They are ranked just one spot below Newcastle in the table; manager Enzo Maresca will want to pick up a win here and secure a higher position in the standings with just two matches to go.
Cole Palmer is ranked 2nd in big chances created in the competition (21) and will be the one the Newcastle defenders closely mark. Chelsea’s tactics, despite being tried and tested, have stood the test of time, with Maresca proving that ball-playing defenders are the go-to options for any modern-day football coach.

Some of the long balls and crosses that Chelsea’s defenders have played this season have seemed flawless, and many of them have reaped them rich dividends in the attacking third.
Left-back Marc Cucurella is among the best examples of this, as his piercing runs down the flanks have made opposition defenders shiver in their boots. His crossing skills may need some work, but his work rate has been impressive with Chelsea.

With attacker Christopher Nkunku ruled out of this game with a knock (he is not expected to be back until later this month), Chelsea’s attacking options seem awfully short of quality. This will force Nicolas Jackson and Palmer to take up more of the responsibility in the attacking third without bowing down to pressure.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Newcastle United (4-2-3-1): Jörgensen; Acheampong, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Cucurella; Fernandez, James; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Newcastle United to win or draw
- Odds: -278 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Newcastle United 1-1 Chelsea
St James’ Park is a challenging place to visit, and Chelsea will not have it easy in this game. We expect Newcastle to either win or draw this game. Newcastle have been unbeaten in 16 out of the 32 matches they have played against Chelsea, maintaining a clean record of fifty per cent.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have beaten Newcastle the rest of the time. Although the Blues beat Newcastle in the reverse fixture of the Premier League in October 2024 by a 2-1 scoreline, the Magpies took their revenge with a 2-0 win in the EFL Cup in the same month.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -192 (20Bet)
Both these teams have a long list of attacking players who can change the nature of the game altogether. While Newcastle will rely heavily upon Isak to push them forward in this game, all hopes of Chelsea rest upon the able shoulders of Cole Palmer.
The Englishman has shown his composure and temperament under pressure in the past and seems unruffled even when going through the toughest of times.
He has scored 15 goals and bagged eight assists so far this season, and will be a major threat to Newcastle as he can operate in all positions in the final third, floating like a butterfly between the ball and tricking defenders.
