Newcastle vs Chelsea FC: Prediction, team news, kick off time, TV, live stream, h2h results - preview today
Newcastle’s new ownership has not provided a boost on the pitch so far and they face the daunting task of taking on Premier League leaders Chelsea this afternoon.
While the home side may be in utter disarray on the pitch this season, Tuchel’s rotational options didn’t exactly make a pressing case for more regular minutes during Tuesday night’s win over Southampton in the Carabao Cup.
Indeed, with Manchester City and Liverpool facing reasonably tough-looking fixtures against Crystal Palace and Brighton respectively, the game at St James’ Park offers a real opportunity for Chelsea to set the pace in the title race.
Having rested a number of key players in midweek, Tuchel will surely bring out the big guns on Tyneside.
Considering the defensive problems Newcastle have endured thus far, the kind of performance they displayed against Norwich could feasibly lead to similar results.

Newcastle vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off today, Saturday, October 30, 2021.
