Chelsea – Newcastle Predictions and Preview
- Many football fans and experts expected Enzo Maresca, the new Chelsea coach, to struggle when he took over this summer. However, the Italian manager has continued to lead his team to success on the field.
- Midweek, Chelsea scored a 4-1 victory over Panathinaikos in the UEFA Conference League, giving them two wins from two in the league phase of the competition. Even though they lost 2-1 to league leaders Liverpool last time out in the Premier League, they still start this round in the top six.
- Many felt they deserved at least a point from their trip to Merseyside, where they had more shots and possession than the hosts. The Blues also recorded the highest pass completion rate on record (since 2003/04) by an away team in a Premier League game at Anfield. Maresca continues to implement his style on the team.
- Now, they take on Newcastle United, hoping to get back to winning ways at home. This seems likely given their return of just one loss across their last 29 Premier League home games (W21, D7).
- For Newcastle, it’s been an indifferent start to the campaign. A 1-0 home loss to Brighton last time out saw them lose ground on the European chasing pack. That defeat extended their mini-league winless run to four matches (D2, L2). They arrive at Stamford Bridge looking to avoid recording five Premier League outings without victory in succession for the first time since March 2023.
- A huge problem for Eddie Howe’s side this term has been their lack of goalscoring. The away side have only mustered eight goals through their opening eight league outings. This total is less than only four sides in the division. With the Magpies losing five of their last seven top-flight games in the capital (W2), that output could hinder their chances of improving upon that record this weekend.
- Key battle: Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson has been involved in 13 goals across his prior 13 Premier League games (G9, A4), while Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes enjoys a Premier League away day, having contributed to four goals across his last five such matches (G3, A1).
- Hot stat: Newcastle have conceded just two second-half goals in the Premier League this season — the joint-fewest.
