Newcastle United vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Newcastle United Team News
Newcastle United sit 12th in the table, which represents a significant drop from where they finished last season (5th). The Magpies haven’t kept a clean sheet in eight matches, highlighting their poor defensive form.
In their recent 2-1 win over Fulham in the EFL Cup, they were saved by a late winner from Lewis Miley, despite keeping 61% possession and boasting an xG of 1.54. What will frustrate them is that they managed to create just one big chance over the entire game.
Newcastle have quite a few absentees on their side. Daniel Burn, Nick Pope, Emil Krafth, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, and William Osula have all been sidelined with various injuries.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-3-3): Ramsdale; Hall, Schar, Thiaw, Livramento; Miley, Tonali, Guimaraes; Gordon, Woltemade, Elanga.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea are currently placed fourth in the standings. The Blues come here on the back of a convincing 3-1 win over Cardiff City, extending their run to three unbeaten results in their last five games.
Interestingly, while Chelsea lead the league with eight clean sheets, they haven’t been in good form in the final third, with just seven goals in their last five encounters.
They’ll be without the services of Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo, Romeo Lavia, Estevao, and Liam Delap due to injury. Moreover, attacker Mykhaylo Mudryk has been suspended and won’t be available for selection.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Newcastle United (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Cucurella, Chalobah, Fofana, Gusto; Fernandez, James; Garnacho, Palmer, Neto; Pedro.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Newcastle United to win or draw
- Odds: -222 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Newcastle United 2-1 Chelsea
Despite their lower position in the standings, we expect Newcastle to win or draw.
The Magpies have a strong record at home against Chelsea, having beaten them in nine of the last 15 meetings there. Moreover, the hosts have gone undefeated in 11 of those 15 encounters.
St James’ Park has become a virtual fortress for the Magpies, as they’ve lost just two of the eight league games they’ve played there this season.
Newcastle United vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -167 (20Bet)
We expect both teams to score. Newcastle have netted 14 goals at home this season, while Chelsea have found the back of the net 15 times on the road. Six of the last eight encounters between these sides have seen this prediction come true.
Interestingly, both clubs have scored in four of their last five league games. Newcastle have been in better form, though, winning three of them and scoring 10 goals in total.
