Both teams have scored in eight of Newcastle’s nine Premier League games this season.
Chelsea have won seven of their nine league outings this term.
Chelsea’s wing-backs have scored six league goals between them this season.
Magpies await January spending spree

Newcastle’s post-Bruce era got off to an underwhelming start last weekend as they played out a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and the prospects of the Magpies ending their winless start to the season look bleak as they host Premier League leaders Chelsea on Saturday.

Newcastle have picked up just four points from a possible 18 so far this season and were eliminated in the Carabao Cup at the first time of asking.

There have been some promising moments, but overall it’s been a dismal start to the campaign and the Toon Army faithful will be eager to see the start of the January transfer window.

Table-topping Blues to continue winning run

Chelsea are enjoying a much more productive first half of the season than their hosts, with the reigning European champions sitting top of the Premier League after nine games and heading into this tie after thumping Norwich 7-0 last weekend.

The Blues did require penalties to beat Southampton in midweek but they have lost just two of their 15 competitive games this season and in the Premier League they have won seven of their nine matches.

They are justified favourites for Saturday’s clash, but their defence could come under pressure. Newcastle, for all their problems, have scored in eight of their nine league matches so far and Chelsea have conceded in five of their last eight in the league.

Chilwell to get among the goals again

With this in mind, backing both teams to find the net looks solid value but I’m not expecting an upset. Chelsea are on fire right now and have scored 12 goals across their last three games, so a 3-1 correct score prediction also holds some appeal.

Chelsea’s wing-backs are also worth considering in the anytime goalscorer market. Ben Chilwell (3), Reece James (2) and Marc

这两支球队在纽卡斯尔本赛季的9场英超比赛中都有8场进球。
切尔西在本赛季的九场联赛中赢了七场。
切尔西的边后卫本赛季共进了6个联赛进球。
喜鹊等待着明年1月的消费狂欢

纽卡斯尔的后布鲁斯时代在上个周末以一场令人失望的开局，他们1-1战平水晶宫，喜鹊在周六主场迎战英超领头羊切尔西，结束本赛季无胜的开局也显得黯淡无光。

纽卡斯尔在本赛季可能得到18分的情况下只得到4分，在卡拉堡杯上第一次被淘汰。

有一些有希望的时刻，但总的来说，这是一个令人沮丧的赛季开始，卡通军团的忠实球迷将渴望看到一月转会窗口的开始。

排名第一的蓝军继续获胜

切尔西在本赛季的上半赛季比他们的东道主更加富有成效，卫冕欧洲冠军在9场比赛后坐上了英超榜首，并在上周末7-0大胜诺维奇后进入了这场比赛。

蓝军确实需要点球才能在周中击败南安普顿，但是他们在本赛季15场比赛中只输了2场，在英超的9场比赛中他们赢了7场。

他们是周六比赛的热门，但是他们的防守可能会受到压力。纽卡斯尔，尽管他们有很多问题，但到目前为止，他们在9场联赛中有8场进球，而切尔西在最近8场联赛中有5场失球。

奇尔威尔再次进入进球行列

考虑到这一点，支持两支球队找到球网看起来很有价值，但我不认为会发生颠覆。切尔西现在热火朝天，在过去的三场比赛中打进了12个球，所以3-1的正确预测也有一定的吸引力。

切尔西的边后卫在进球市场上也是值得考虑的。Ben Chilwell (3)， Reece James(2)和Marc
