Chelsea make the long trip to the North East as they face Newcastle United at St James’ Park.
The Magpies enjoyed a nice run of form earlier in the season, but recently have struggled in the league. With one draw and three losses in their four previous games, Newcastle will be hoping for a positive result in this fixture.
Similarly, Chelsea will be looking for a win in this fixture to keep the pressure on Leicester City and Manchester City above them, but also to further the gap from teams that will be vying for that coveted fourth-place finish.
Teams travelling to St James’ Park face a difficult task of trying to break down a resilient and well organised Newcastle defence.
This sets up this game perfectly, as Chelsea this season have been scoring for fun when playing away, having only failed to score once away from home in the league this season.
