On Sunday, at 16:00, Chelsea moves on Newcastle United’s third round of the Premier League. The Londoners have the highest score and have played very well so far, under the command of Maurizio Sarri, while Newcastle has not yet won in the new championship. “Cotofenele” missed the last round victory in Cardiff, losing a penalty in overtime (0-0).
In the last round of the last season, Newcastle defeated Chelsea 3-0, but the situation has changed significantly since then, especially as Antonio Conte is no longer a Stamford Bridge manager. It was, in fact, the last victory of the “cotofenelor” in the Premier League, the form of the last 7 stages showing deplorable: 1-1-5. Chelsea showed well in Huddersfield (3-0) and Arsenal (3-2), and Eden Hazard could return as a holder after a well-deserved summer break.
In the last 17 straight games of the two have always scored at least two goals, both bands being recognized for their offensive appetite after the break. With only two failures in the last 11 championship matches, Chelsea starts his favorite because he has a superior batch in all the compartments. But I have also seen hesitations in the London defensive, and Newcastle has players able to take advantage, especially Ayoze and Joselu. Midfielder Kenedy will not be able to enter Newcastle in this match, being cheated by Chelsea on “St. James Park “.
The hosts are missing Lejeune and Manquillo, injured, while Sarri is without Fabregas and Van Ginkel. Chelsea has no win in this 3-match match, but has won the last three games in its own home with black and white: 3-0, 3-1 and 5-1.
THE PROBABLE TEAMS
Newcastle: Dubravka – Manquillo, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett – Ritchie, Diame, Shelvey, J. Murphy – A. Perez – Josu
Chelsea: Kepa – Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Ruiz, Alonso – Kante, Jorginho, Barkley – Pedro / Hazard, Morata, Willian
PREDICTION: Chelsea to win @ 1.69
