Chelsea Team News
In the previous league game, Chelsea lost to Manchester United away from home by 4:1. The home team scored four goals until the 78th minute, and the only consolation goal for the visitors was scored by Joao Felix in the 89th minute, assisted by Hakim Ziyech.
They occupy only the 12th position in the table with 43 points won and have long since lost all chances to be in the European competition next season, so this game has no result significance for them. In the last thirteen games in all competitions, they registered only one victory, with three draws and as many as nine defeats.
Coach Frank Lampard has big problems with injured players. Benoit Badiashile, Armando Broja, Raheem Sterling, N’Golo Kante, Marc Cucurella, Ben Chilwell, and Marcus Bettinelli are out of the protocol for the next match due to injuries. Reece James is also likely to miss Sunday’s match, while Mason Mount should be fit.
Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, and Joao Felix are expected to be in the starting line-up this time, as they were not among the first 11 players on the field in the last game.

Newcastle Team News
In the previous Premier League game, Newcastle played a draw with Leicester at home and the result was 0:0. In a game with no result for the home team, they were a better rival than the guests by all statistical parameters. They allowed only one shot to the opponent’s goal and sent as many as 23. Also, they had significantly more possession of the ball, but they did not manage to win.
They currently occupy the fourth position in the table with 70 points and will compete in the Champions League next season. In the last 13 league games, they recorded as many as nine wins, with two draws and two losses each.
Like their next opponent, Newcastle also has a lot of problems with injured players. Coach Eddie Howe will be without Nick Pope, Emil Krafth, Javier Manquill, Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Ritchie, Joelinton, and Joe Willock. All the other players are ready to welcome the duel with Chelsea.
Due to the numerous absences of players, a small number of changes are expected in the starting 11 compared to the previous match. The only possible change is in the middle of the field, where Joe Willock would be replaced by Elliot Anderson, while Martin Dubravka would return between the posts, instead of the injured Nick Pope. There should be no other changes.
The lads. 😎

Chelsea vs Newcastle Prediction
In a game with no result for both team, we believe that the game will end in a draw or a victory for the guests. The reasons for that are that Newcastle is in much better shape, and they should go out in the first team, while the situation is completely different for the home team. However, Chelsea has the home-field advantage, and for that reason, we are not sure of a “clean two”. Also, we believe that the match will be a little more closed, with a small number of goals.
