Kick-off : 5:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea had a mixed start to the year 2019 but will surely look to play better football moving ahead. The Blues know they are a bit out of the title race but will still try to catch up.
Chelsea are at the moment fourth in the points table after 21 games with 44 points. In Newcastle they have got opponents which will be tricky but The Blues know if they play to potential then the job will be done.
Chelsea have their next couple of games against Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur across the Premier League and EFL Cup respectively.
On the other hand, Newcastle are struggling at the moment in 2018/19 Premier League and will look to make improvements.
The Magpies are currently fifteenth in the points table after 21 games with 18 points. Against Chelsea they will have to give their all and hope for the best.
Chelsea have a good record against Newcastle and they will look to continue the good work.
Team news and possible line-ups
Federico Fernandez, Mohamed Diame and Jonjo Shelvey are all doubtful for Newcastle for the Chelsea game.
As for The Blues, Willian and Pedro are both available and will likely play.
