Newcastle vs Chelsea: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today
Chelsea’s tough run of fixtures continues today when they travel to Newcastle as the Premier League returns.
After a mixed start, however, the Blues appear to be finding their feet under Mauricio Pochettino. While perhaps not totally convincing in the 4-1 win over Tottenham, there were more promising signs during the dramatic 4-4 draw with Manchester City before the international break.

Having also taken points off Liverpool and Arsenal this season, raising their game against the toughest tests (on paper at least) seems an early theme for Pochettino’s Chelsea.
That could be needed again. Though Newcastle are beset by injury problems, Eddie Howe has turned St James’ Park into a fortress.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Newcastle vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off today, Saturday, November 25, 2023.
