Newcastle's 2024/25 campaign so far has been much underwhelming. Despite being off to a brilliant start results-wise, the Magpies club, going winless in the last 4 games, find themselves in the 9th position of the PL table. However, Newcastle would want to change scenarios soon, as they face Enzo Maresca's Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge next.

While certainly defeating the Blues at their fortress won't be an easy job for Eddie Howe's side, they would need to give their best to grab some valuable points from the clash. Given that both clubs are coming off defeats, with Newcastle dropping points against Brighton and Chelsea losing to Liverpool, the fixture seems to be a much more enthralling one.

Closely analyzing the fixture's possible repercussions for Newcastle, it is easy to see that a potential win here could have them ahead of Chelsea after the matchday. Moreover, considering that the Blues would be a direct contender for the fourth crucial UCL spot, the complete 3 points could get Newcastle back on track, and thus, the fixture is definitely going to have high stakes involved in it.

Considering the same, former PL superstars Gary Neville and Paul Scholes believe that the Newcastle Vs Chelsea fixture could be a high-scoring contest. However, both the Manchester United legends seem convinced of the 3 points going in favor of the hosts, as they agreed on a staggering 3-2 scoreline for the big clash.

While given the form Newcastle has been in, it is reasonably fair on their part to assume such a result, but Newcastle should try to get as many points as possible from the fixture. With their star forward Isak now feeling close to being 100% fit and manager Howe being optimistic about Gordon's form return, things could change in Newcastle's favor. The club fans would hope that the two star forwards combine brilliantly in front of the goal, breaking their winless streak against Chelsea.
