Chelsea vs Newcastle Tips

• Cole Palmer to Score or Assist: 8/11 @ Betfair
• Alexander Isak Over 0.5 Fouls & Anthony Gordon Over 0.5 Shots On Target: 5/2 @ BetMGM

Tip 1

Although Cole Palmer showed no signs of his usual self as Anfield last weekend, Chelsea’s chief creative officer averages a goal or assist every 63 minutes at Stamford Bridge in the league – a direct involvement figure that only Erling Haaland (one every 57 mins) surpasses.

The 22-year-old boasts six goals and five assists across his eight appearances so far, only failing to produce a goal involvement once in his last four matches.

Tip 2

Alexander Isak has committed a foul in three of his five league starts this season, with each of those coming across his last four games which have been during a largely rough patch for Sunday’s visitors.

Teammate and fellow forward Anthony Gordon has managed a shot on target in five out of eight PL games, producing at least one effort on goal in each of his last four matches.

Chelsea Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Blues responded to their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool last Sunday by tanking Panathinaikos 4-1 in their own backyard in Thursday’s Europa Conference League meeting.

Chelsea have a clean bill of health for this match, having welcomed back Reece James last weekend and seeing Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana return from domestic suspensions.

Chelsea Predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Gusto; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.

Newcastle Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Magpies are without a league win from the last four matches, most recently allowing Brighton to claim all three points from the pair’s meeting at St James’ Park last Saturday.

Callum Wilson suffered a fresh setback from his ongoing injury and will be absent for a further three games, continuing his spate on the sidelines alongside Martin Dubravka, Sven Botman, Kieran Trippier and Jamaal Lascelles.

Newcastle Predicted XI: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Joelinton, Tonali, Guimaraes; Barnes, Isak, Gordon.
