How both teams go into Newcastle vs Chelsea

The Premier League has five spots for qualification to next season’s Champions League, which will provide drama in the final weeks of the campaign. Newcastle have put themselves in a good position with four games left to play, but it’s still very open. The Magpies enjoyed a run of six wins from seven to climb into third, two points clear of sixth-placed Nottingham Forest — who do have a game in hand at the time of writing.

Chelsea are unbeaten in five in the league, but they’ve dropped points in two of those games, including against now-relegated Ipswich Town. It’s a run that has seen the Blues drop to fifth and not fancied to qualify for the Champions League. Chelsea have a tough final run-in against the teams around them, facing Nottingham Forest on the final day of the campaign. They’ll need to win at St James’ Park to keep their hopes alive.
