Chelsea’s new signings finally seem to be clicking, with the Blues playing some of their finest football over the past few weeks. Chelsea are currently on a six-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League and will be hoping to take three points at a venue where they have struggled in the past.

Notably, Chelsea have won just one of their last seven top-flight trips to St James’ Park. However, the Blues will be motivated by the chance to move to the top of the Premier League standings temporarily with a win against Newcastle on Saturday.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, have been solid but have failed to impress fans this season. Steve Bruce’s men have not kept a clean sheet since the opening day of the season and have also managed the lowest number of shots on target out of all Premier League teams this campaign. Despite that number, Newcastle United find themselves in 13th place in the Premier League standings with 11 points from eight games.

Newcastle vs Chelsea team news: Injury update

Newcastle: Steve Bruce has confirmed that Ryan Fraser won't be available on Saturday while expressing hope that top scorer Callum Wilson will be fit to feature against the Blues.
