Chelsea, expectations are high as both teams vie for crucial points in the Premier League. The match is scheduled for October 26th, 2024, at 10 a.m. ET and will be broadcast on USA Network, with a free online live stream available via FuboTV. Analysts predict a narrow victory for Chelsea, forecasting a final score of 2-1 due to Newcastle's depleted squad. Key players such as Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman are expected to miss out due to injuries, which could significantly impact Newcastle's defensive capabilities .
Alexander Isak converted from the penalty spot to cancel out former Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh‘s opener. A chaotic second half saw three Newcastle spot-kicks awarded, but only one was taken after two VAR reversals.

Isak has scored the most goals (19) and non-penalty goals (15) in the Premier League since the start of December, while he is second only to Liverpool‘s Mohamed Salah (30) for goal involvements (23). The Swedish striker will be aiming to score in a fourth successive league game against Chelsea here, a feat he’s only achieved against Brentford and Forest.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Gordon
Chelsea possible starting lineup: Sanchez; Caicedo, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Lavia, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Madueke; Jackson
Newcastle may rely on Lewis Hall—a former Chelsea player—who is expected to start in the absence of their injured defenders . Historical performance indicates that Chelsea has had the upper hand in recent encounters; they previously defeated Newcastle 3-2 in an exhilarating match characterized by rapid scoring and dramatic turns. This context sets the stage for what promises to be an engaging fixture.
This is arguably the biggest game of the weekend, despite champions Liverpool hosting Arsenal later in the day. Two teams capable of beating anyone of their day as they look to take a huge step towards qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
