Chelsea is set to face Newcastle in this round. This season has been tumultuous for Newcastle, especially after the new ownership led to the departure of coach Bruce, and they are still in search of a replacement. The team's form has not improved, as they recorded no wins, with four draws and five losses, placing them near the bottom of the standings.

During the first half, Newcastle displayed minimal resistance while enjoying home advantage. However, Chelsea took full control after halftime, with Reece James consistently threatening from the right side of the box. He scored two goals that put Chelsea ahead 2-0, and a penalty was awarded after a foul in the box on Havertz.

Chelsea's defensive record this season has been impressive, having conceded only three goals in ten matches, along with two penalties awarded against them. They have maintained an unblemished record, not dropping points in their last seven games.
