Two sides who are enduring rough seasons face off, as Chelsea take on Newcastle United, with both sides now chasing a top 7 finish and some European football next year. Chelsea’s lack of consistency has hampered their progress this season, whilst the same story can be told of Newcastle this season too – with both sides very unpredictable from a betting perspective currently with EPL betting apps.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United Analysis
With neither side in great form, this should be a tough one to call in West London.
Chelsea
It has been a very strange season for Chelsea, who have disappointed hugely with many Premier League betting sites but they have enjoyed some success in the cup competitions. They remain in the hunt in the FA Cup but that is their only realistic chance of silverware this season and the pressure is mounting on Mauricio Pochettino, who needs to see his side get a result here.
Team news: Robert Sanchez, Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana and Reece James will all miss out here for the blues.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Dorde Petrovic, Axel Disasi, Malo Gusto, Ben Chilwell, Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling, Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer & Nicholas Jackson.
Newcastle United
Eddie Howe’s Toon have a similar story to tell, with just their FA Cup run left to properly battle for this season. Other sides have caught up with and surpassed Newcastle this season and they look to have work to do if they are to be playing European football next year. This is a tough assignment, but Toon did manage to comfortably beat Chelsea earlier in the campaign at St James’s Park.
Team news: Joelinton, Callum Wilson, Kieran Tripper, Nick Pope, and Lewis Hall will all miss out here for Newcastle United.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Martin Dubravka, Tony Livramento, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, Dan Burn, Bruno Guimares, Lewis Miley, Miguel Almiron, Anthony Gordon, Joe Willock & Aleksander Isak.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United Prediction
Two sides with nothing other than pride to play for meet here, which should take the handbrake off this tie to a certain degree. Chelsea have looked more likely at home in recent weeks, despite some indifferent defensive displays and they should have enough about them to see off Newcastle United here.
Prediction: Chelsea to win the match – 10/11 (-110) – Rhino Bet.
Chelsea vs Newcastle United – The Ultimate Bet
Chelsea to win & BTTS – 21/10 (+210) – Fitzdares
Newcastle United have not feared any assignment this season, but their naivety has caught them out somewhat this season and whilst they will have a go at Chelsea, the blues should have the attacking prowess to see them off.
