Chelsea F.C. versus Newcastle United

After dropping two valuable points against Aston Villa in midweek, Chelsea look to improve on their faltering form with a win against struggling Newcastle United.

Chelsea are a wounded animal, and the next team to visit Stamford Bridge and test their 72 league games unbeaten record at home are Newcastle United - but the visiters are hardly enjoying life under their new manager Sam Allardyce.

With seven points from nine, including one against then-league leaders Arsenal, Nnewcastle finally seemed to have found some form after a stop-start beginning to the campaign, which saw the northern side languishing in midtable. However, their latest result was far from encouraging, suffering a defeat away to the ever-improving Wigan Athletic.

Chelsea's last three games have been less than productive, taking four points from nine. However, having come from two men down against Aston Villa to take the lead before squandering it will have taken its toll on the London side and with United winning, it means Chelsea are now seven points behind the Champions in the title race, and six behind Arsenal, who also slipped up away to Portsmouth.

Only a win is acceptable, and recent encounters suggest Chelsea head into this game with both the superior record at home to Newcastle, and the better form of the two teams, with 13 points from their last 18.
