In Saturday's late kickoff, Chelsea will travel to a Newcastle United squad that is on a roll.

Newcastle United

Newcastle is now in third place after earning 27 points after their first 14 games. With eight goals scored in their most recent triumphs over Aston Villa and Southampton, they have now won each of their previous five games overall. They defeated Crystal Palace on penalties after a scoreless draw on Wednesday night at St. James' Park to advance to the fourth round of the EFL Cup.

Chelsea

In their EFL Cup match on Wednesday night, Chelsea fell to Manchester City 2-0. After the capital club won Group E, Potter was able to lead the Blues into the knockout round of the Champions League. However, their recent league play has been appalling, only picking up two points in four games and falling to seventh place in the standings after a four-game losing streak.

Prediction

The Magpies will do every effort to avoid losing in an effort to finish the game on a positive note. The Blues need some time to recover from their recent losses, but they definitely need to do so. The successors of Howe will be able to take the initiative and halt the retreat..
