Chelsea vs Newcastle prediction
The only thing in Chelsea’s favour is the question mark over Newcastle’s motivation, with their top-four spot already sealed.
Even with that it’s difficult to see the Blues picking up a rare win, with the backline alarmingly vulnerable against Manchester United and the same problems up front still clearly there. The Magpies should prove too good.
Newcastle to win, 2-0.
