Newcastle hosts Chelsea on Saturday in the Premier League’s early kickoff.
Both teams are coming off successful Carabao Cup quarterfinals in midweek, with Chelsea defeating Cardiff City 3-1 on Tuesday and Newcastle beating Fulham 2-1 on Wednesday.
Chelsea has now won two straight after a run of four games without a win. Enzo Maresca’s side comes into this game in fourth place as it looks to keep its faint title hopes alive.
It’s been a difficult Premier League campaign so far for Newcastle, which is in 12th place after finishing fifth last season.
After a run of four games without defeat, the Magpies suffered a demoralizing 1-0 loss to Sunderland last weekend in the Tyne-Wear derby.
