Newcastle vs Chelsea –Newcastle has a goal in mind. They have support from some of the wealthiest PL owners ever, and they want to succeed. They will be considered the favorites to defeat the struggling Chelsea this weekend because they will be playing at home.
Only Manchester City and Arsenal are placed ahead of the Magpies at the moment in the table, and they have a strong winning streak going and have just lost once the entire season. Only the top two teams scored more goals than them, and they let up the fewest goals of any team in the competition.
The fact that they have so far kept an undefeated home record is equally commendable. They actually had a perfect winning record here, with the exception of just three draws, one of which also involved Manchester City.
Chelsea is now on a protracted winless streak and has been knocked out of the top four. Additionally, they only had three victories on the road throughout the entire campaign and conceded a lot of goals.
Despite having a higher all-time head-to-head record, Newcastle’s recent performance would seem to have them winning this match.
