Chelsea will entertain Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge on Monday night in a one-on-one Premier League clash, with kickoff slated for 20:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Can Chelsea Make it Four Matches Unbeaten in the Premier League?
Chelsea will look to return to winning ways after two back-to-back league draws. In between the two draws, Mauricio Pochettino’s side lost the Carabao Cup final against a weakened Liverpool side.
Inconsistency has been a challenge for Chelsea this season, as they managed just 10 wins in 26 attempts and amassing 36 points, which is good enough for 11th on the Premier League table.
The clash against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge hands Pochettino and his charges an opportunity for a big win against Eddie Howe’s side, who have lacked consistency in recent matches and are just four points ahead of them on the table, with the hosts having played a match less.
Can Newcastle United Recapture Consistency in the Premier League?
Eddie Howe’s side have won twice in their last five Premier League outings, drawn twice, and lost once.
The inconsistency has seen Newcastle amass 40 points and sit 8th on the table, 15 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.
Eddie Howe will look to get his side back on track with consistent performance when they face Chelsea on Monday. A win will propel them upwards on the table and allow them to challenge for European places.
