Chelsea vs Newcastle preview
Both Chelsea and Newcastle are eyeing a late, late push to reach the European places.
But to do so, they’ll need to avoid defeat in this one.
Chelsea recovered from Wembley disappointment by progressing beyond Leeds in the FA Cup and then snatching a late 2-2 with Brentford.
There’s goals at both ends of this Blues side, though the same can be said for their opponents.
A total of 25 goals have been scored in the Toon’s last five Premier League games, which is an incredible stat, highlighting the good and the bad of Eddie Howe’s men this season.
That’s why these sides find themselves where they are and – with the weekend results to come before they play – they’ll need a consistent run to push their way up.

Chelsea vs Newcastle betting tips
Goals
The games involving these two recently have brought a lot of goals, including the pair having BTTS landing in the games against each other on the last four occasions (one being a friendly).
Newcastle’s last five league games had delivered 25 goals, with nine coming in Chelsea’s last two.
There’s mistakes in both defences but a good, solid spreading of attacking talent.
BTSS & Over 3.5 goals at 27/20 with Ladbrokes – CLAIM HERE
Big Bad Bruno
Bruno Guimaraes is arguably the best footballer outside the so-called ‘top six’ and has shown why this season.
But as well as his ability off the ball, he has a desire to win the ball back from a defensive standpoint too and that sees him concede a high number of fouls.
34 fouls in 26 Premier League games this season to be exact and one either side of the break here isn’t out of the question.
Bruno Guimaraes 1+ foul in each half at 15/8 – CLAIM HERE
Target man
Alexander Isak is Newcastle’s key man in an attacking sense and is the most likely to get them a goal.
On the counter attack in a game like this, he’ll cause a somewhat suspect Chelsea defence plenty of issues.
He has 23 efforts on target in his 19 games.
Alexander Isak 2+ shots on target at 15/8 – CLAIM HERE
