"Chelsea have won 11 of their last 12 Premier League home games against Newcastle (D1) since a 2-0 loss in May 2012 under Roberto Di Matteo. Newcastle have avoided defeat in five of their last seven Premier League games against Chelsea (W3 D2 L2), more times than they had in their previous 15 (W3 D1 L11)."
"No team has scored in more different Premier League games than Chelsea this season (27), with their only two blanks coming in 0-0 draws with Crystal Palace in August and Bournemouth in December. Chelsea have scored more penalty goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (7), with Newcastle joint-second in this regard (6)."
"Newcastle have won 49 Premier League away games against London sides, and could become the fourth non-London team to win 50 in the capital after Manchester United (81), Liverpool (79) and Manchester City (64). However, the Magpies have lost more Premier League away games in London than any other side (94)."
Chelsea face Newcastle in an evening Premier League match scheduled for 5:30pm UK time. Both teams are managing fixture congestion around Champions League commitments, with Chelsea recovering from a 5-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle coming off a 1-1 draw with Barcelona. A Chelsea victory would temporarily move them into the top four, while Newcastle aim for a top-half finish. The reverse fixture ended 2-2. Chelsea dominate the head-to-head record with 11 wins in their last 12 home games against Newcastle since 2012, though Newcastle have improved recently, avoiding defeat in five of their last seven meetings. Chelsea lead the league in penalty goals with seven, while Newcastle are joint-second with six.
