Enzo Maresca’s much-improved Chelsea squad faces a challenging matchup as they welcome an inconsistent Newcastle United to Stamford Bridge. Despite Chelsea’s recent strides, they have struggled at home, securing only one win at the Bridge. Newcastle, meanwhile, has also faltered away, with just one road victory this season. Chelsea currently sits 7th in the Premier League standings, while Newcastle trails closely in 9th.

  • Newcastle have won half of that, with 15 wins.

  • Newcastle all competitions: L-D-W-D-L

Team News:

Kieran Trippier is out with a hamstring strain, Martin Dúbravka has a knee injury, Matt Targett is dealing with a knock, Sven Botman is recovering from a knee injury, Callum Wilson has a back injury, and captain Jamaal Lascelles is sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury.
