Newcastle vs Chelsea predictions and football betting tips for the Premier League match on Saturday 6th December. Newcastle will be looking to become the first team to beat Chelsea this season when the two sides meet at St James’ Park on Saturday.
A run of six consecutive wins in all competitions by the Magpies ended last weekend with a 1-0 away defeat at West Ham, followed by a 1-1 draw with Burnley on Tuesday. After a poor start to the season, Newcastle now sit 10th in the table and the pressure it would appear is off Alan Pardew for the time being. A surprise win over Chelsea would do the Newcastle manager’s job security no harm, although seems unlikely given the Magpies ever growing injury list.
Tim Krul, Gabriel Obertan and Siem de Jong are key absentees, although Captain Fabricio Colo ccini returns from injury. Alan Pardew will also be able to recall Moussa Sissoko and Jack Colback after the pair missed the draw at Turf Moor through suspension.
Similarly, Diego Costa missed Chelsea’s 3-0 midweek win against Tottenham through suspension and returns to the side. Chelsea’s goalless draw with Sunderland last week was the first time the Blues have failed to score this season. There’s plenty of attacking firepower in the side to cause Newcastle damage, but a possibility the Magpies may respond with at least one goal of their own.
Newcastle have won the last two fixtures between the sides at St James’ Park, although Chelsea won 3-0 the last time the teams played in February at Stamford Bridge. Eden Hazard scored a hat-trick that day and has scored four goals in three games against Newcastle.
