Chelsea vs. Newcastle United – Match Preview | Game Week 9

In the Premier League’s eighth game week, Chelsea and Newcastle United aim to bounce back from recent setbacks as they meet on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea’s recent loss to Liverpool was tough, but they have a full squad ready, including Reece James, who returned from a hamstring injury. Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana will also rejoin after serving suspensions. Manager Enzo Maresca, whose side recently won 4-1 over Panathinaikos in the Conference League, will likely rotate players again, with Felix potentially replacing Jadon Sancho after his impressive midweek performance.

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer may not have shone against Liverpool, but he averages a goal or assist every 63 minutes at Stamford Bridge—only Erling Haaland has a better record at home.

On Newcastle’s side, manager Eddie Howe confirmed that Callum Wilson will miss the game due to a back injury. Other key players—Sven Botman, Kieran Trippier, Jamaal Lascelles, and Martin Dubravka—are also sidelined, though Dan Burn has recovered from an ankle knock.

Harvey Barnes could replace Jacob Murphy up front, and former Chelsea academy players Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento are expected to start as full-backs for Newcastle.

Both teams are determined to improve their standings and move past last week’s defeats, making this an exciting showdown.
