Head-to-Head
- Both teams have won two, and drawn one, of the last five Premier League meetings between the teams.
- Chelsea have won six, drawn five and lost three of their 14 home matches in the 2025/2026 Premier League, averaging 1.64 goals per game.
Chelsea
Chelsea, currently fifth in the table on 48 points from 29 games, are in slightly better form than Newcastle, who sit 12th on 39 points from 29 matches, with two wins and three losses in their last five Premier League matches.
Newcastle
Newcastle have been much more inconsistent in recent weeks, winning 2-1 at home to Manchester United after a 3-2 home loss to Everton last weekend.
Key Players
Joao Pedro leads the line for Chelsea this season with 14 goals in 29 Premier League games, and Cole Palmer, who has scored five of his team’s most recent ten goals in their last five, is on fire.
Betting Insights
Chelsea are rightful favourites at 1.86 , but Newcastle are certainly capable of scoring on the day, so I’ll take BTTS - Yes at 1.46 , as both sides’ systems and styles should lead to some end-to-end football and exposed defences.
Prediction
The Magpies may be off the pace on the road of late, but their disciplined approach keeps them in the game for long periods and, when they can get it, they are extremely dangerous on the counter.
