Newcastle United Review
Newcastle United enter this pivotal fixture in strong form, having secured seven wins in their last ten league matches. Their recent 1-1 draw against Brighton saw Alexander Isak net his 23rd league goal of the season via a late penalty, underscoring his importance to the team's attacking prowess .
However, the Magpies face challenges with key midfielder Joelinton sidelined due to injury. Manager Eddie Howe may need to adjust his tactics to compensate for this loss, potentially altering the team's formation to maintain midfield stability .
In an effort to boost home support, Newcastle is offering fans a free pint upon entry to St. James' Park between 10 am and 11 am on match day, aiming to create an electrifying atmosphere for this crucial encounter .
Chelsea Review
Chelsea arrive at St. James' Park with momentum, having secured a 3-1 victory over Liverpool in their previous outing, marking their third consecutive league win. Under manager Enzo Maresca, the Blues have found renewed vigor, with Nicolas Jackson rediscovering his scoring touch and Roméo Lavia returning from injury to bolster the midfield .
Midfielders Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez have been instrumental in Chelsea's recent resurgence, though their aggressive playing styles have made them prominent figures in disciplinary statistics. Referee John Brooks, known for averaging over five yellow cards per game, may have a significant impact on the match's flow .
Head-to-Head
Historically, Chelsea have held the upper hand in this fixture. Out of 64 meetings since 1995, Chelsea have won 34 matches, Newcastle United 17, with 13 draws .
AiScore
However, recent encounters have been more balanced. In their last five meetings, Newcastle have won four and drawn one, indicating a shift in competitiveness between the two sides.
Nowgoal Prediction: Newcastle United 2-1 Chelsea
With both teams level on 63 points and vying for Champions League qualification, this match is poised to be a tightly contested affair. Newcastle's home advantage and recent form suggest they may edge out Chelsea, but the Blues' resurgence under Maresca cannot be underestimated.
