Predictions Newcastle vs Chelsea January 19, 2020

Rank 4 Chelsea will play away against Newcastle ranked 13 in the 23rd week of the 2019/20 Premier League on Sunday (1/19/2020). The Blues seem to have to fight hard if you want to bring home three points.

Newcastle are without a win in their last four matches in the Premier League. The Magpies really need additional points to improve their position. Despite having to play a little defensive, whatever they are ready to do when facing Chelsea.

Newcastle just drained the energy in the FA Cup replay match against Rochdale, where they won 4-1 through goals from Matthew Longstaff, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton, and the suicide of opposing players. In this condition, coupled with the potential absence of some players, Newcastle can play rather passively when serving the Blues at St James' Park.

Chelsea, who in their last match bowed to Burnley through a Jorginho penalty and goals from Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi, will need to play patiently to dismantle the home defense. The creativity of the midfielders will play a crucial role.

Chelsea need a victory to maintain a position in the top four, as well as looking for good capital before clashing with Arsenal in the next match. Can they do it?
