Chelsea lost to “Manchester United” with a score of 1-4 in the midweek match of the gloomy season, where they will finish at best in the 11th position in the Premier League – a position they last finished in the 1995/96 season. The six-time English champions desperately tried to end this campaign on a positive note but won only one of their last 13 matches. Interim manager Frank Lampard may choose a more experienced team after fielding nine players under the age of 24 in the Premier League for the first time on Thursday, aiming to secure their first home league victory since March 4th. After 37 rounds, the hosts have recorded 11 wins and ten draws, amounting to 43 points and a 12th position in the league table. Today, Fofana, Guehi, Koulibaly, James, Cucurella, Chilwell, Broja, and Bettinelli, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play.
Newcastle has never been thrilled with “Stamford Bridge” – the last time the “Magpies” won here was in May 2012, but today they have a completely revamped club. On Wednesday, the “black and whites” secured their qualification for the Champions League, and today they have a chance to climb to third place if they win here, while also hoping for a miracle from “Fulham” in their match against “Manchester United”. Furthermore, the visitors have a chance to secure their third consecutive away victory, but they will be missing injured goalkeeper Nick Pope, who has kept 14 clean sheets in the Premier League this season. Out of the game today are Willock, Ritchie, Carroll, Krafth, Joelinton, and Fraser, who is out of form.
