Chelsea at Newcastle United Barclays Premier League GUEST: Robert, Managing Editor of Coming Home Newcastle (http://cominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com/) @BishopSBN Talking Points: Newcastle won at home to end Chelsea’s unbeaten streak Most Chelsea fans used not having Matic as the excuse Newcastle are coming off a 3-1 loss to Man United and a 1-0 loss in the FA Cup to Leicester City Newcastle doesn’t have a manager at the moment, only a caretaker. This shouldn’t change too much though, right? I mean he’s essentially just maintaining what Pardew was doing. Rumors that Mike Ashley wants to sell the club. How does that affect the team’s focus? Sissoko rumored to be heading to PSG Chelsea are 9-0-0 at Stamford Bridge, but are coming off a heavy loss to Tottenham and an expected win against Watford in the FA Cup Chelsea don’t have any reported injuries nor anybody going to the African or Asian Cup thanks to Drogba turning down that opportunity Newcastle have two players at the African Cup: Papiss Cisse (thankfully!) and Cheick Tiote and 12 reported injuries mainly to the defensive unit, right? Tim Krul looks set to return though Four Four Two Highlights Key Battle: Costa vs Dummett Newcastle have scored more goals via substitutes than anybody else (cough Cisse, cough) Chelsea score on 18% of shots and their shots are on frame 50% or the time (most in PL) Last 6 matches CFC: 3-1-2 Newcastle: 2-1-3 Standings CFC: 1st* Newcastle: 10th Past meeting: December, 2014 - CFC 1-2 NUFC Predictions Brandon: CFC 2-0 Newcastle Dan: CFC 2-0 Newcastle Nick: CFC 3-1 Newcastle Robert: CFC 2-1 Newcastle Contact Us Tweet Us! https://twitter.com/LondonBluePod Email Us! mailto:[email protected] iTunes http://t.co/yrwBI6lfzn Stitcher http://bit.ly/1uZn8hZ Pocket Casts http://pcasts.in/feed/londonisbluepodcast.libsyn.com/rss SoundCloud http://soundcloud.com/londonis-blue
