As the top of the Premier League table condenses, Chelsea can end the weekend in the top four if they're able to protect their home pitch against a tricky Newcastle United side. The Blues sit seventh only three points behind Arsenal for a Champions League spot.

Newcastle’s 1-0 home defeat against Brighton last week reflected a team that has gone stale with no major signings arriving at St James’ Park in the summer, despite their huge Saudi backing. They still have a team full of talent but you feel it’s in need of a refresh to help them reach the next level and consistently challenge the teams at the top.
