Stamford Bridge will witness a fiery EPL encounter between Chelsea the Blues and the Magpies of Newcastle United this Sunday when two teams winless in their last two league games go head-to-head.
Both sides will be aiming to recover from recent Premier League losses making this encounter crucial for gaining momentum heading into the busy winter schedule.
Meanwhile, Newcastle, winless in their last four Premier League outings, need to rediscover their scoring touch to climb back up the table.
🔵Chelsea Aim to Rebound after Liverpool Defeat at Home | Home Win = 1.80💵
Chelsea, having recently triumphed in the UEFA Europa Conference League with a 4-1 win over Panathinaikos, hope to bounce back in the league after suffering a 2-1 defeat at Anfield in their last league game against Arne Slot’s Liverpool.
Chelsea’s form has been mixed, especially at home, where they’ve managed just one win from four league matches (W1, D2, L1). Despite struggling to find consistency at home in the EPL, their recent European exploits should boost their confidence ahead of a stubborn Newcastle visit.
Enzo Maresca’s side has shown promise in attack, netting 17 goals in their last six home games across all competitions. However, of those 17 goals, only six have come in the EPL, something they might want to fix before they play Eddie Howe’s side.
⚪Newcastle Look to End 4-Game Winless Streak | Away Win = 4.24💵
Newcastle has endured a difficult run, with their last Premier League victory coming over a month ago five games back against Wolverhampton. Eddie Howe’s side has struggled in front of goal, managing just one goal in their last four league matches.
Their most recent setback was a 1-0 home loss to Brighton, despite dominating possession and creating plenty of chances and given that their trip to Stamford Bridge would not be any easy, they might want to fix their misfiring problems soon.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Chelsea’s clean bill of health should give them flexibility given their lack of significant injury concerns, and the return of players like Reece James from injury offers defensive stability.
Chelsea could rotate their lineup from midweek, with Mudryk and Felix possibly making way for Palmer and Madueke. Palmer’s record of goal contributions at Stamford Bridge will be crucial, while Cucurella and Fofana return from suspension to bolster the defence.
The Magpies’ injury list is a significant concern. Key players like Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson, and Sven Botman are sidelined, limiting Newcastle’s attacking and defensive options. However, Dan Burn’s availability and the energy of young stars like Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento could help them stay competitive.
Newcastle’s attack will likely rely on Harvey Barnes, who could replace the out-of-form Jacob Murphy. With several key players missing, Howe will lean on the likes of Bruno Guimarães and Miguel Almirón to provide a creative spark in midfield.
