Chelsea vs Newcastle United: Premier League prediction

Newcastle United will sign off for the season at Stamford Bridge knowing they can call themselves a Champions League.

No doubt, Blues fans will be waiting with "Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that" chants but for once Chelsea won't be in the European competitions next term. And Newcastle supporters can celebrate their season with a big day in the capital.

Lee Ryder's prediction

Chelsea have struggled under Frank Lampard and he won't be around much longer after suffering a poor time since his return. The Blues though will be looking to go out with a bang.

Newcastle will be without Nick Pope and Eddie Howe may make a few more tweaks. The Magpies will never get a better chance to land one on Chelsea than this.

The last victory here came in 2012 so an away win is long overdue. I think they will get it, but Chelsea will put up some resistance, let's say 3-1.

Referee

Jarred Gillett (Australia)

Betting

Newcastle are 31/20 to beat Chelsea on their own pitch while the Blues are priced at 17/10. The draw is 12/5 with Bet 365.
