Chelsea haven't won at Newcastle since 2021
Without a win at St James Park since 2021, Chelsea come to Newcastle with good morale after their 2-0 victory over Everton in the previous leg at Stamford Bridge. On the other side, Eddie Howe is looking to wash away the shame of the “shitholes” after losing the derby with Sunderland, 0-1, following the unfortunate own goal succeeded by Nick Woltemade.
Newcastle have had a shaky start to the season, and after 16 games they sit at the bottom of the table with 22 points and a +1 goal difference. On the other side, Chelsea, despite the inconstant evolutions, occupies the 4th place, with 28 points and a goal difference of +12.
This season, Newcastle have already suffered 3 defeats at home, 2-3 with Liverpool and 1-2 with Arsenal in the Premier League and 1-2 with Barcelona in the Champions League.
In contrast, Chelsea have lost 4 away games so far, two in the Premier League against Manchester United (1-2) and Leeds (1-3) and two in the Champions League against Bayern Munich (1-3) and Atalanta (1-2).
