The “Blues” have been unable to win in two consecutive Premier League matches. In the last round, Enzo Maresca’s team lost away to Liverpool, 2-1, and prior to that, they drew at home with Nottingham Forest, 1-1. Notably, the loss to the “Reds” ended Chelsea’s six-game unbeaten run in the Premier League (4 wins and 2 draws).
These two setbacks have dropped them to sixth place in the standings. However, they are only three points behind the top four, so the race is still wide open. It’s also worth mentioning that the “Blues” have only won one of their four home matches, collecting a total of five points at Stamford Bridge. Last Thursday, they traveled to Greece, where they confidently defeated Panathinaikos 4-1 in the Europa League.
The “Magpies” have dropped to ninth place in the standings, trailing Chelsea by two points. Eddie Howe’s team has lost ground, failing to win in their last four league matches. During this period, Newcastle drew with Manchester City (1-1) and Everton (0-0) but suffered losses to Fulham (3-1) and Brighton (1-0).
Notably, the “Magpies” haven’t scored in two consecutive rounds for the first time since March 2023. Their goal-scoring has also been modest this season, with an average of just two goals per match. In their last 25 Premier League away games, Newcastle has won only seven times, with only one of those victories coming against a team from the top half of the table.
