CHELSEA
Chelsea are currently 11th on the log and they are undefeated in their last 3 starts, coming off a 2-2 away draw at Brentford and a 1-1 away draw at Manchester City. Chelsea lost their last away game 4-2 to Wolves, but prior to that had won 4 in a row at home.
NEWCASTLE
Newcastle are currently 9th on the log and picked up 3 points last time out with a 3-0 home win over Wolves. They had previously lost 4-1 away to Arsenal and their last 9 games have all delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers. Newcastle have battled on the road this season only taking 11 points from 13 matches.
GOALS
Looking more closely at the goal stats of the two teams, 50% of Chelsea home matches have reached the 3 goal mark while 10 of the 13 Newcastle away games have delivered profits for overs-backers and the last 4 matches they have played on the road have all had 3 goals or more in them.
Recent Head-to-Head
These sides met in the League at Newcastle in November where Newcastle came out 4-1 victors. Both teams have found the back of the net in the last 4 matches between the sides across all competitions. Chelsea won their last meeting back in December winning 2-1 at home in the EFL Cup.
