Their most recent success saw them secure a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals with a 3-1 victory away to League One side Cardiff.Enzo Maresca’s side head into the Premier League weekend back inside the top four following last weekend’s win over Everton, and will be eager to cut the five-point gap to third-placed Aston Villa with another positive result.Only Crystal Palace have collected more points on the road than the Blues in the Premier League this season, although Chelsea’s away form has dipped slightly of late, with just one win from their last four matches away from home, a trend they will be keen to reverse on Saturday.Newcastle also come into the fixture on the back of Carabao Cup success, having booked their place in the semi-finals as they continue their bid to defend the trophy they lifted last season, ending a 70-year wait for domestic silverware.A 2-1 win over Fulham returned Eddie Howe’s side to winning ways after defeat in the Tyne-Wear derby, and leaves the Magpies with just one loss in their last six matches ahead of Saturday’s clash with Chelsea.Currently sitting 12th in the Premier League table, Newcastle find themselves lower than they would like at this stage of the campaign, but they remain just a point outside the top half and only four points adrift of the top five in what is a tightly packed standings.The Magpies have been particularly strong at St James’ Park in recent months, winning eight of their last nine home games in all competitions, and will look to extend that impressive run this weekend.Chelsea, meanwhile, have endured a difficult recent record on Tyneside, losing on each of their last four visits to St James’ Park, including two 2-0 defeats last season – one in the league and one in the Carabao Cup.The Magpies’ home record, both of late and in recent games against Chelsea, has been formidable of late and leads to me think they could secure themselves another victory in a tough fixture on Saturday lunchtime – I envisage a 2-1 home win.Newcastle v Chelsea betting tipsChelsea bluesChelsea make the long trip to Newcastle having won just one of their last five matches away from home, while the Magpies have won eight of their last nine matches at St James’ Park, where the Blues have lost on each of their last four visits.Newcastle to win and both teams to score at 15/4 with bet365Gordon among the goalsNo player on either team has scored more goals in all competitions than Anthony Gordon this season; the Newcastle winger bagging his seventh goal of the campaign in last week’s draw at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, leaving him with goals in his last three starts.Anthony Gordon to score at 12/5 with bet365Joelinton in the book againJoelinton has been booked on more occasions than any other player on either team this season.Joelinton to be carded at 11/4 with bet365Newcastle v Chelsea predicted lineupsNewcastle (4-3-3): Ramsdale (GK); Livramento, Thiaw, Schar, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, GordonChelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez (GK); James, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; PedroHow to watch Newcastle v ChelseaLocation: St James’ Park, Newcastle upon TyneDate and time: Saturday 20th December 2025, 12:30pmHow to watch: TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports UltimateMore Premier League predictionsFind more predictions and betting tips from our expert punters in our match previews on the Premier League, Championship, League One and more!More Premier League free betsCommercial content notice: Taking one of the bookmaker offers featured in this article may result in a payment to talkSPORT. 18+.
