Chelsea vs Newcastle: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
Chelsea welcome Newcastle in the Premier League tonight as Mauricio Pochettino looks to turn the tide of fan opinion.
The Blues boss admitted he did not feel the “love” of the supporters following last weekend’s disappointing 2-2 draw with Brentford after audible chants for the return of Jose Mourinho.

Pochettino, however, insists he will not give up trying to convince Chelsea fans he is in fact the right man for the job.
While the club are expected to stick with the Argentine until at least the end of the season, few would doubt the atmosphere has turned toxic of late.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are still hoping of making a late run for Europa League qualification and have recovered key players of late.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Chelsea vs Newcastle team news
Chelsea have lost Levi Colwill and Ben Chilwell, who will visit a specialist over a knee injury, ahead of the game. Conor Gallagher is a doubt after missing training due to illness.
None of Christopher Nkunku, Romeo Lavia or Reece James are expected back. Thiago Silva and Marc Cucurella, however, are available and Raheem Sterling is an option to come into the starting line-up.
Newcastle will be without Nick Pope, Sandro Tonali, Callum Wilson, Matt Targett and Joelinton. Kieran Trippier suffered an injury against Wolves last weekend and will duly be ruled out here, perhaps affording Tino Livramento a rare start at right-back.
Lewis Hall is ineligible against his parent club, while Miguel Almiron could replace Jacob Murphy at right wing. Alexander Isak, Elliot Anderson and Joe Willock are all fit again.
Chelsea vs Newcastle prediction
Chelsea have already beaten Newcastle at Stamford Bridge this season, albeit in fortuitous circumstances.
With the fans in revolt and the team inconsistent, an away win does not feel out of the question.
Newcastle to win, 2-1.
