These two sides are in a desperate need for points in order to achieve their pre-season goals. That is why a thrilling game is expected on Saturday evening at the St. James Park.

Newcastle is in a terrible run and has only 2 points after 6 rounds in the new season of the Premier League. They are still without a win, which is just embarrassing for a side of their quality. The Magpies lost to Watford at home, in the previous round, which was a match they really needed to win. Things don’t seem to get any better as Newcastle plays against Manchester City, right after the Chelsea duel.

Chelsea has been in a poor run so far, but in the previous round, the Blues won 2-0 against their city rival, Arsenal. This team needs to keep on winning if they want to stay in the title race. Manchester City, the leading team in the Premier League, has 8 points more, which is why anything but a win on Saturday is out of question for Chelsea.
