Team News

Chelsea
Newcastle
  • Chelsea have no fewer than nine players missing for the final game of the season.
  • Mateo Kovacic will be assessed, though is unlikely to start on Sunday.
  • Frank Lampard should make changes to his XI following Thursday's 4-1 loss at Manchester United.
  • Nick Pope is absent for Newcastle here, meaning a first league start of the season for Martin Dubravka between the sticks.
  • Eddie Howe is also without key midfield pair Joelinton and Joe Willock, while Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Ritchie are also absent.
  • Matt Targett could be handed a rare run out at left-back with a top-four spot already secured.

Prediction

  • Chelsea's season is ending on a downer with the Blues coming into Sunday's welcome of Newcastle on a run of one win in their last 11 league outings. The Blues were embarrassed by Manchester United on Thursday night.
  • Newcastle huffed and puffed, but couldn't blow Leicester down on Monday night, though a point was all they needed to secure Champions League football for next season. They can play without pressure at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
  • The Blues will be keen to see out the campaign on a high, but currently down on their luck, Newcastle should compound what has been a miserable season for the west London side.

  • Mid table Chelsea getting a creditable point at home to high flying Newcastle. 90s are back. All is right with the world. :)

  • X2 or Btts

  • The question is will Chelsea score a goal in that defeat ?

  • Wonder why Felix is not a starter, but joke Sterling is... anyway should be goals here.

  • Mauricio Pochettino will be at the game and has signed his contract to become Chelsea's manager next season.

  • Away the lads, could be embarrassing for chelsea

  • Over 2.5 goals.
