Chelsea vs Newcastle Prediction and Odds

Newcastle United will host Chelsea in a Premier League clash at St James Park on 30^th October. The Magpies are yet to appoint a full time manager since the sacking of Steve Bruce as Graeme Jones has been appointed on an interim basis. Names of Paulo Fonseca and Frank Lampard have emerged as possible candidates but nothing has been finalized yet.

Newcastle’s £305m take over by the Public Investment Fund who will now hold 80% of the club, brought a lot of attention. However, as far as their performance this season, the club is now second from the bottom and they might need to find that missing piece.

Chelsea on the other hand are enjoying life under Thomas Tuchel. Barring a defeat against Manchester City they have been on a roller-coaster ride and are currently topping the Premier League table with 22 points in 9 games.

Chelsea thrashed Norwich City 7-0 with Mason Mount netting a hat-trick for the Blues in the last match.

Newcastle on the other hand drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace and are still searching for their first win of the season.

Manchester United thrashed them 4-1 in the next match and they played two consecutive draws against Leeds United and Watford.

Successive defeats against Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur further deepened their crisis.

Lampard was still the only coach willing to come to Chelsea during our transfer ban & STILL reached the Champions League by bringing through Academy players that many of you didn’t even want in the first team or thought would relegate. Stop hating on Lampard & give him his due.
