Three straight wins have Chelsea ticking up and they will look to continue that run and end a recent run of bad form at St. James’ Park against Newcastle.
Chelsea have dropped their last three games against the Magpies, who are winless after six matches and sit in 19th spot in the Premier League table.
The Blues beat Walsall in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday and are back in Champions League action on Tuesday.
