Newcastle vs Chelsea results

At 7:30 PM on December 20th, Chelsea will travel to Newcastle for their match in the 17th round of the Premier League.

Pre-match statistics:

• In their last 13 visits to Newcastle, Chelsea have only won 3 matches but lost 9. St James' Park has long been a real nightmare for "The Blues".
• Newcastle have gone nine consecutive matches without keeping a clean sheet. This could be a weakness for Chelsea to exploit, especially since the London team usually shows great composure in big games.
• Despite inconsistent performances away from home, Newcastle are a completely different team when they return to St James' Park. Midweek, they beat Fulham in the League Cup, and more broadly, the Magpies are unbeaten in their last nine home games, winning eight of them.
• The head-to-head history also favors Newcastle. In their last two home matches against Chelsea, the St James' Park side won both times 2-0.
• St James' Park has been a formidable stronghold for Newcastle this season, with them securing 72.7% of their points there.
• Newcastle entered the match in high spirits after securing a place in the EFL Cup semi-finals. However, in the Premier League, Eddie Howe's side remained inconsistent, having just lost to Sunderland and dropping to 12th place.
• Conversely, Chelsea under manager Enzo Maresca are maintaining impressive form. The Blues are firmly in the top 4, possess the fourth strongest attack in the league with 27 goals, and have the most clean sheets, with 8 games without conceding a goal.

Force:

Newcastle are facing a defensive injury crisis as a number of key players have been sidelined, including Trippier, Botman, Burn, Pope, and most recently, Livramento. Lewis Hall's availability is also uncertain, making the personnel situation at the back particularly challenging.

Conversely, Chelsea also suffered losses with the absence of young talent Estevao and Mudryk due to suspensions. However, the London club received great news with the timely return of Moises Caicedo – a key player in midfield – after serving his suspension.
