Meeting for the first time this season, Newcastle and Chelsea will go head-to-head in a Premier League matchup Saturday.
Following their EFL Cup quarterfinal success midweek, Newcastle must shift their attention back to the league, where they’re currently 12th in the table. The Magpies suffered a 1-0 away defeat to rivals Sunderland last weekend, but they’ll now get a chance to bounce back at home.
After a 2-0 Premier League win over Everton last weekend, Chelsea also secured a spot in the EFL Cup semifinals with a 3-1 victory over Cardiff City. The Blues now have five consecutive Premier League fixtures to solidify their spot in the top four, starting on the road at St. James’ Park.
