Examine predictions, team news, and betting tips for the Premier League match between Newcastle and Chelsea on Sunday, 11th May 2025 (12pm BST).
Tip 1
The Swede netted his 23rd PL goal of the season and although it’s unlikely that he’ll pip Mohamed Salah to the Golden Boot, it’s still been a valiant effort from a striker who won’t let up between now and the end of the campaign.
His goals per 90 ratio is only 0.1 shorter than the Egyptian’s having played three games fewer, and on both current form – three goals in his last four appearances – plus the fact that he bagged in the 2-1 loss at Stamford Bridge, I’ll be getting Isak onside to score.

Tip 2
Home form has been a strong suit of Newcastle’s, while games away from Stamford Bridge have proven unpredictable for the Blues.
St James’ Park crowds have seen the Toon lose just four times in the league this season, impressively winning five straight matches here, which includes Forest, Brentford and Palace.
They’ve also been free scoring while doing so, putting four past Nuno Espirito Santo’s side in a seven-goal thriller, four against United and five versus an in-form Crystal Palace.
Chelsea have won only one of their last nine top flight away visits, losing to Man City, Ipswich Town, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Arsenal.

The Toon are currently seated 4th at the Champions League qualification table despite Alexander Isak’s late penalty only rescuing a point for them away at Brighton last Sunday.
Club captain Jamaal Lascelles and Lewis Hall are out for the remainder of the season, while Joelinton could also miss their last three fixtures. Eddie Howe is also without the services of Matt Targett and possibly Fabian Schar too.
Newcastle Predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
The Blues continued marching towards a successful first season under the tutelage of Enzo Maresca after he delivered a 3-1 win over champions Liverpool before securing passage to the Europa Conference League final with a 1-0 win over Djugarden on Thursday.
Marc Guiu looks to be available once again to provide more depth to Chelsea’s squad, however, Wesley Fofana is out for the season after undergoing surgery.
Chelsea Predicted XI: Sanchez; Caicedo, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Lavia, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Madueke; Jackson.
