Newcastle v Chelsea: Preview

Newcastle host Chelsea on Sunday at St James’ Park, and Rafael Benítez will be hoping that Newcastle can secure their first win of the season and gain some much needed points.

It’ll be a tough match for Newcastle to win, even with a home advantage, as most online bookmakers offer Chelsea as the clear favourites to take all 3 points from this fixture.

Although Chelsea are expected to win Sunday's fixture, Newcastle did manage to beat them 3-0 when they last met in the Premier League back on the 13th of May.

Before that, Newcastle hadn’t managed to secure a victory against them since back in 2014, with Chelsea winning all but one of the 5 fixtures in between.

The other match was played on the 26th of September in 2015 and ended in a 2-2 draw - the only stalemate in the last 12 Premier League matches between these two teams.

In the lead up to the Newcastle v Chelsea match, we've taken a look at both team’s form to help you make more informed choices when betting on the game.

After a respectable 10th place finish in their 2017-18 Premier League campaign, Newcastle have had a terrible start to the 2018-19 season, and it’s not set to get any easier for them.

Fixtures against Man City and Arsenal loom following the Chelsea match and so it's imperative that they get something from the game to halt a slide down the table.

Benítez’s men managed to secure their first point of the season away to Cardiff last weekend with a 0-0 draw, bu disappointingly Newcastle missed a late penalty to win it.

This draw came on the back of a loss to Spurs in their opening match of the new season, leaving Newcastle sitting in 12th place in the Premier League table.

With a raft of tough matches coming up, Newcastle really need to get some points on the board or they will spend the rest of the season playing catch up.

Luckily there are no major injury concerns for Newcastle, with Yedlin expected back in the line up, although Manquillo still doesn’t have a return date.

They may have won the last time they hosted Chelsea in the Premier League, but a similar result is a lot to ask from an under performing Newcastle side.

If they can even hold Chelsea to a draw, it could give them a point and a confidence boost heading into the tough matches that are coming up in Newcastle's fixture list.

Chelsea on the other hand have had a fantastic start to their 2018-19 campaign and currently sit join 1st in the Premier League table on 6 points from 3 matches.

Sarri’s men have won both of their fixtures so far, starting with a 3-0 victory over Huddersfield, and followed up by a 3-2 victory against Arsenal in the London Derby last weekend.

Having just missed out on the top 4 last season, Chelsea should do better this time around, with bookmakers offering them as third favourites (12/1 at Bet365.com) to win league

Sarri also has a pretty easy run of fixtures coming up, playing Bournemouth, Cardiff and West Ham, which should allow Chelsea to keep adding to their points tally.

Unfortunately, Cesc Fabregas is still struggling with a knee injury, and could miss the Newcastle match, but apart from that, Sarri doesn’t really have any major injury worries.

Chelsea are on form at the moment and should take all 3 points from Newcastle on Sunday.
