Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães is the first Premier League player this season to win 100 fouls, doing so in each of the last two campaigns (also 108 in 2023-24), becoming the first player to do so consecutively in the competition since Jack Grealish in 2019-20 (167) and 2020-21 (110).
Newcastle’s Alexander Isak has recorded the most goals (19) and non-penalty goals (15) in the Premier League since the start of December, while is second only to Mohamed Salah (30) for goal involvements (23). The Swede could score in a fourth successive league game against Chelsea, something he’s only done before in the competition against Brentford and Nottingham Forest.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has won seven of his 20 meetings with Chelsea in all competitions, though each of these seven victories has come against a different manager (Mourinho, Conte, Sarri, Lampard, Potter, Pochettino, Maresca).
Across the last 20 league games for each current Premier League side, only Liverpool (46) have accumulated more points than Newcastle (43 – W14 D1 L5). Indeed, it’s the most points they’ve collected over a run of 20 games in the competition since between 21st September 2002 and 29th January 2003 (44).
Newcastle have already beaten Chelsea 2-0 at St James’ Park this season in the EFL Cup. They last beat the Blues twice in the same campaign in 1986-87 (both in the league), while they last beat them in two different competitions in 1931-32 (league and FA Cup).
