We\u2019re coming to the end of what has been a long and super confusing Premier League<\/a> season. As we get closer and closer to the final day, the title race and relegation spots have already been determined. All that\u2019s left is to determine who will compete in Europe, and there are a handful of teams left in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of them will be colliding this weekend as Newcastle United prepare to do battle with Chelsea<\/a>. These two clubs have both been through their fair share of ups and downs across the last decade or so but when you\u2019re talking about success, more people tend to think of Chelsea. Alas, while that may have been true for a while, Newcastle are starting to live up to the potential they\u2019ve had for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n

While the Saudi-backed investment has been a big reason for the success of the Magpies lately, Eddie Howe has also done an incredible job as manager of the club. Their fans are starting to believe that they can become one of the dominant forces in English football and after their League Cup triumph, who knows what could come next in terms of silverware?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Chelsea, they finally seem to be settling down after a few years of complete and utter chaos. Enzo Maresca feels like the right man to guide the Blues forward into the future and although their title challenge fell apart pretty quickly this season, they have a probable Conference League final appearance to look forward to alongside a top five push in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this game specifically, it feels like there\u2019s a lot on the line given that most teams only have a handful of fixtures remaining. So whether you\u2019re looking for the best Bitcoin sports betting sites<\/a> or you just want to know a bit more about this encounter, we\u2019re here to give you our thoughts on how this game could play out.<\/p>\n\n\n

Straight off the bat, we\u2019re going to say that we expect this to be a pretty cagey affair. Newcastle enjoy grinding teams down and forcing them to play at their own pace, whereas Chelsea will want to be a bit more free-flowing in how they go forward. We believe these two styles will cancel one another out, especially given how important three points are at this point in the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can see Chelsea taking the lead through some intricate build-up play and a nice finish, but with this game taking place on Tyneside, they\u2019re going to be in for quite the barrage for the rest of the afternoon. They will have to endure wave after wave of pressure until finally, they crack, leading us down the path of an exciting final 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do think that they\u2019ll share the points and in truth, neither team will be overly happy with that. Still, it\u2019s better than going away with nothing, and Chelsea will already have one eye on trying to claim a trophy – to run alongside Newcastle\u2019s own moment of glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
