A handful of Premier League pundits have predicted Newcastle United’s nine-game unbeaten Premier League run to come to an end against Chelsea. The Magpies make their second trip south in the space of four days as they’re in the capital to face Thomas Tuchel’s side at Stamford Bridge.
The visitors could not be going into the game in much better form with 16 points from their last six games, a tally bettered only by Liverpool. However, Chelsea are the reigning World and European champions for a reason and are Newcastle’s toughest opponents since the visit of Manchester City to St James’ Park before Christmas.
For that reason, the pundits tasked with predicting this weekend’s Premier League results don’t hold much hope for the Magpies on their travels.
