Two teams battling it out for a European finish in the Premier League this season clash on Saturday at St James' Park, as Newcastle United welcome Chelsea to the north-east. 

Despite being dealt continuous injury concerns throughout recent weeks, Eddie Howe's side still sit in seventh spot heading into this matchday and just six points outside of the top-four spots.

In this meeting with visiting Chelsea, they'll be looking to get back to winnings ways after a disappointing 0-2 defeat to Bournemouth and could rely on their strong home form to inspire success in this one. 

But Mauricio Pochettino's side enter here after putting four goals past both Tottenham and Manchester City in their prior two league outings, as they look to be finally gelling under their new Argentinian boss. The Sporting News previews the game below.

    Newcastle vs Chelsea best bet

    • Pick: Under 2.5 goals
    • Odds: -105 (DraftKings)

    Even though they're suffering with a lengthy list of injuries at present and have lost each of their last two matches via a 0-2 scoreline to Borussia Dortmund and Bournemouth respectively, Newcastle remain a different beast at St James' Park. 

    As a result, we're expecting a much improved performance from the Magpies in this clash versus Chelsea as they return home to be backed by their passionate faithful.

    At this venue, Eddie Howe's side have won their prior four Premier League outings and have remarkably kept a clean sheet in each one which gives reason to back the 2.5 goals scored in this match. Their two most difficulty fixture sin that stint saw them win 1-0 each time vs. Brentford and Arsenal too. 

    As for Chelsea, well, it's difficult to know still really. They put four past Manchester City last time out, yet still failed to win in that match at Stamford Bridge, and hit four prior against rivals Spurs but we're expecting a different outcome here. 

    St James' Park is a difficult place to come to and with Chelsea scoring two or fewer goals in three of their five away league outings this season, they could struggle in front of goal again here. 

    Newcastle vs Chelsea flier bet

    • Pick: Cole Palmer to score anytime
    • Odds: +350 (DraftKings)

    After arriving for a sizeable transfer fee this summer from Manchester City, Cole Palmer has begun to really settle in at Stamford Bridge with new club Chelsea. 

    With four goals in the Premier League this season across his nine appearances — all four of which have come in his last five matches — the 21-year-old's form has improved drastically which ultimately led to his first senior England team call-up during November's international break. 

    At +350 to score anytime with DraftKings, this selection feels strong, especially as Palmer remains as the club's main penalty taker when on the field.
