📅05 December 2014, 11:00

This Saturday Newcastle United is hosting Chelsea at St James’ Park for their next Premier League match.

The teams have played each other numerous times in the Premier League and Newcastle has won the last two Premier League games at home against Chelsea. However, when they last played, in February this year, Chelsea beat Newcastle 3 – 0.

Despite Newcastle’s success against Chelsea at home over the past few years, the bookies don’t think that it is likely to continue. Winner Sports is offering odds of 1/2 on a Chelsea victory while the odds on Newcastle winning are far longer at 6/1 and a draw has been set at 16/5. Furthermore, there are odds of 5/1 available on Chelsea winning 1 – 0 or 2 – 0.

At the moment Newcastle are ninth in the league with 20 points having won 5 games, drawn 5 and lost 4. However, Chelsea is very much dominating the league; they have 36 points after winning 11 games and drawing 3 and are six points clear of second placed Manchester City.

Last weekend Newcastle drew 1 – 1 with Burnley FC and the week before they lost 1 – 0 to West Ham.

Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 3 – 0 in their last game and the week before drew 0 – 0 with Sunderland.
