Chelsea v Newcastle: The key battles

Newcastle will be looking to build on their win against Manchester United as they travel away to face Chelsea this weekend.

Steve Bruce’s side will make the trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday and go into the game on a high, following their 1-0 win against Manchester United before the international break.

Matty Longstaff scored the only goal of the game for Newcastle, securing their second win in the Premier League this season – moving them out of the bottom three and up to 16th. 

Chelsea, meanwhile, also head into the game on top form. They have scored 15 goals in their last four games, winning all of them, across three different competitions. Frank Lampard is bringing the best out of the likes of Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount, who Newcastle will need to keep a close eye on.

But, what do Newcastle need to do to get a result? Here are some of the key battles they will need to win…

matchday.
