Chelsea vs Newcastle United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Blues are a treat to watch this season under Enzo Maresca.
After an exciting game against Liverpool in the previous match, Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are set to lock horns with Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge aiming to continue their impressive start to the season. The Blues have won their previous two clashes against the Magpies and hope to maintain that streak here.
Chelsea have made an encouraging start to the season under Enzo Maresca, who has impressed everyone with the way he has improvised his ideas for the team, which are evident in their play this season. Their unbeaten streak of seven games came to an end in the previous games against Liverpool despite dominating the game, and even getting applauded for their effort.
Newcastle United on the other hand have endured a mixed start to the season. The Magpies are currently languishing in the ninth position in the table after gathering 12 points from the opening eight games. Injuries have played a major role in their downfall this season with Eddie Howe missing several key players through injury. They have only managed to pick one win in the previous four games and will be hoping to change this record here.

Players to Watch
Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
Cole Palmer has been a different class for the Blues ever since he stepped into the team. After enjoying a record-breaking campaign last term, he has similarly begun the new season creating havoc with his goal-scoring prowess and ability to pull magnificent passes. This season, Cole Palmer has already registered 11 G/A contributions from the opening eight games and will aim to inspire the Blues to a victory here again.
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United)
Anthony Gordon has started the second in brilliant form for Newcastle this season scoring two goals from the opening games. He has already caused plenty of problems for opposition defenders this season with his direct running and trickery. Gordon has created a whopping 18 chances for his teammates only for them to miss those. He will be aiming to get back on the score sheet after failing to score in the previous two games.
