Chelsea vs Newcastle United - Premier League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups

Newcastle have won only one of their last 30 league visits to Stamford Bridge, a run dating back to 1986, that sole victory coming in May 2012, courtesy of Papiss Cissé's breathtaking brace, so will this fixture produce another home win?

Chelsea vs Newcastle United Preview

Can Chelsea get back to winning ways in the Premier League? Last Sunday, the Blues' suffered their first league defeat since the opening day, beaten 2-1 at Anfield, with Nicolas Jackson equalising, only for Liverpool to go back in front mere moments later. Nevertheless, Enzo Maresca's side kick off in sixth place, having only been beaten by the current top two thus far, so there are still plenty of reasons to be positive.

On Thursday meantime, Chelsea made it two wins out of two in the Conference League, smashing Panathinaikos 4-1, with João Félix bagging a brace in Athens, while Mykhailo Mudryk and Christopher Nkunku were also on target at Spyros Louis Olympic Stadium. It's now the start of a key fortnight for the Blues, who will take on Newcastle again in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, this time on Tyneside, before meeting Manchester United and Arsenal in their next two league fixtures. Thus, will they commence this crucial period with a win?

Newcastle United meantime travel down to West London devoid of confidence, currently without a win in four, following last Saturday's 1-0 reverse at the hands of Brighton. Eddie Howe's side collected ten points from their first four fixtures, but have added just two from the subsequent four, so are sliding down the standings, lacking direction, belief and general excitement right now. Thus, everything suggests the Toon Army will endure another fruitless trip to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea Team News

Enzo Maresca, as has become his tradition, made 11 changes for the mid-week win in Greece, so this starting XI will resemble the one that took to the field at Anfield, although he does have some big decisions to make. Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana both sat out the trip to Merseyside suspended, the former therefore completing 90 minutes against Panathinaikos, with both likely to return here, alongside Reece James, hopeful of successive league starts for the first time since December. Roméo Lavia alongside Moisés Caicedo appears to be the first-choice midfield duo, leaving no place for Enzo Fernández. Pedro Neto impressed both off the bench against Liverpool and then on Thursday, so could he come into the side at Jadon Sancho's expense?

Chelsea predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-2-3-1): Sánchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia, Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.

Chelsea Player to Watch vs Newcastle United

Cole Palmer, who's not in the UEFA squad for now, will therefore be fresh and raring to go, looking to add to his six goals this season, having been on target when Chelsea beat Newcastle 3-2 back in March.

Newcastle United Team News

The visitors are very short of defenders; Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman, Matt Targett and now Kieran Trippier are all out, with Tino Livramento coming in for the latter last weekend. In better news, Alexander Isak did return to lead the line against Brighton, following a broken toe, but he's still scored only once this season, a major disappointment considering he bagged 25 during the last campaign. Both Dan Burn and Joelinton must watch their step, as they are a yellow card away from sitting out next weekend's clash with Arsenal.

Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Everton: (4-2-3-1): Pope; Livramento, Schär, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Murphy, Barnes, Gordon.

Newcastle United Player to Watch vs Chelsea

Anthony Gordon has been the star of this generally underperforming Newcastle team so far, on target against both Bournemouth and Man City, likely to be their primary goal threat again here.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United Prediction

We're backing Chelsea to win this one. Given their gigantic squad, the players on the field will be largely unaffected by the mid-week trip to Athens, while Newcastle continue to be inconsistent, so we can't see the Magpies leaving West London with anything: Chelsea 2-0 Newcastle United.
