Since their win against Arsenal, Newcastle hasn’t won a game and it’s time to meet Chelsea, who have recorded 2 consecutive losses.
Currently 1st, Chelsea has 28 points in 14 games and an away record of W3 D1 L3, but the team recorded 2 consecutive losses and its lead is now gone. Manchester United has 28 points as well,and supposedly a much easier home game against Blackburn.
Newcastle is currently 10th with 18 points in 14 games and a home record of W2 D2 L3. In the last 5 home games, Newcastle recorded 2 losses 2 draws and a single win over Sunderland with 5:1.
Against Chelsea at home, Newcastle has done poorly in the past 5 seasons when they have been in the Premier League, scoring just 1 goal, and losing 3 out of the 5 games.

What I find troublesome for Newcastle is, that Chelsea are feeling the pressure of letting the top spot slip under their feet and will put an extra effort in this game for sure.
The Magpies should watch for Florent Malouda who has scored in his two Premier League visits to St. James Park.
If Chelsea were to lose this game they will break a record that dates back in October 1999.
Although the odds for a draw or a home victory a quite tempting, I seriously don’t think Ancelotti will let this one slip as well.
