Winning this would be beautiful, not only because it’s Chelsea but we really need to end this half of the season with as much momentum as possible to carry us through the break. For the first time in a long time it’s Chelsea who should be worried, this side fears no one at the moment.

Mad to think that considering where we were a year ago. We aren't looking for a fluke goal and then park the bus for the win - we are here to play our game and win by as many goals as possible. And given our form and the big 6 scalps collected already, we have every chance of being a headache for them and getting 3 points. Brighton result gives us plenty to be positive about.

Sky Sports' prediction/tipster guy has went bold. :lol:https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12743596/premier-league-predictions-jones-knows-sees-wins-for-newcastle-liverpool-and-leicester-on-saturday

 

The case for a Newcastle win is very easy to make here.



 

Eddie Howe's men are the most likely winners according to the markets - who would have foreseen that at the start of the season? There is 13/10 with Sky Bet on offer for a home victory, which equates to a 44 per cent chance of this game ending in Newcastle's favour. The Toon are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League games, winning six and have only lost two of their last 21 Premier League home games - the only defeats coming against Liverpool and Manchester City.

 

In the seven Premier League games Graham Potter has overseen, Chelsea have averaged a non-penalty expected goals tally of 0.95 per 90 minutes - that's a disappointing return for a team that are being priced up as a top-four side. Without Kepa Arrizabalaga, Reece James, N'Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell, added to the possibilities of a host of key players like Thiago Silva and Mateo Kovacic having one eye on the World Cup, Chelsea's season just might hit rock bottom at St James' Park.

 

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-0

I don't like how people are now expecting us to beat teams like Chelsea, it doesn't sit right :lol: 

14 years of the heart and soul being drained from the club has this effect. The form table from January 2022 doesn’t lie, we’re the real deal now . But yes taking some getting used to! :indi:

                                Pope

 

Trippier.        Schar.         Botman      Targett

 

                             Shelvey

 

            Bruno.                        Joelinton 

 

                              Willock 


Miggy.                                                    ASM

 

 

No CF, high press-tastic, combative midfield. Make is hard to play through the middle and give their WBs the fear about moving up the pitch.

Another top thread from Sanjay.

 

Interesting.  Hopefully Bruno is as good against the press from Havertz, as Partey was.  As Partey was Arsenal's MOTM against Chelsea.  So fuck Havertz if he is going to shadow Bruno.  He'll just dominate and all (I hope!).

Folk never learn there lesson with Jonjo, I’m really not sure combative, high pressure-tastic and hard to play through the middle belong in the same team as that bloke.

 

We’ve been brilliant for months without him anywhere near the team, Wednesday night should have been a wake up call go all the Jonjo fanboy’s.

We played the same way last season and he was class.

Why would we change the formation that has helped us get to 3rd in the table?

Treat it like were still underdogs to counter their having not won for a while. I'd fancy it more if that weren't the case.

A win would feel like winning at Leeds under Sir Bobby and bolting it on to winning at Arsenal days earlier and going top.
