Two sides looking to force their way into the top 4 picture at the end of the season meet here, as Chelsea host Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge. The blues were on the wrong end of the result at Liverpool last time out but have shown signs that they are on the right path under Enzo Maresca this term. Newcastle United meanwhile slumped to a home defeat against Brighton last weekend but have also started the campaign well and should be bang up for this one.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United Analysis
This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters and EPL betting sites at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea
Enzo Maresca looks to be turning the tide a touch at Chelsea, with the blues still struggling to maintain any sort of Premier League consistency. A top 4 finish looks to be within their grasp this term and they have spent plenty of money chasing a return to the Champions League next term. Games such as this have been a huge problem for the blues in recent seasons but they are out to prove that they are the real deal with punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Jadon Sancho is the only slight injury doubt here for Chelsea.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Palmer, Neto, Madueke & Jackson.
Newcastle United
Following a blip at home to Brighton last weekend, Eddie Howe will be desperate to get a result here on the road in West London. Ascertaining exactly where Newcastle are at this season is not easy, with Toon having picked up some very good results, but also some poor returns too. This feels like a big game in terms of their aspirations, and they have plenty of fire power in their ranks to hurt Chelsea, who can be vulnerable defensively.
Team news: Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson, Jamal Lescelles & Sven Botman will all miss out here for Newcastle.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Pope, Livramento, Burn, Schar, Hall, Tonali, Joelinton, Guimares, Barnes, Isak & Gordon.
Chelsea vs Newcastle United Prediction
This should be a very good game at Stamford Bridge, between two sides that will be hoping to force their way into the Champions League picture come the end of the campaign. Chelsea pushed Liverpool all the way last time out but came up short, whilst Newcastle will be looking to bounce back from a home defeat to Brighton. Home advantage could prove to be telling though, and Chelsea should get over the line here.
Prediction: Chelsea to win the match – 5/6 (-118) – Rhino Bet.
