Four points and three places separate Newcastle and Chelsea as the two prepare to do battle at St. James's Park on Saturday, November 24th. The Magpies had an excellent run last season that helped them secure Champions League football for the first time in two decades, while the Blues are hoping to find their footing after a poor campaign that saw them post one of their worst finishes in many years.
Eddie Howe's side did suffer a hiccup recently as they lost both in the Premier League and the Champions League, but nonetheless have been quite solid at home. The Magpies come into this match having won their last four Premier League home games, and could make it five for the first time in over 100 years if they can beat Chelsea on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Chelsea, who sit in tenth spot, have started to turn around after a poor start the campaign. Mauricio Pochettino's side are unbeaten in their last two Premier League games. They first eased to a win over a nine-man Tottenham before impressively holding reigning Premier League champions Manchester City to an exciting 4-4 draw in their final match before the latest international pause.
