Newcastle are aiming to make it five consecutive Premier League wins before signing off for the World Cup break, with an inconsistent Chelsea the visitors to St James’ Park.
The Magpies have taken 19 points from the last 21 on offer in the league to surge past Chelsea and into the top three. As a result, Miguel Almiron has been crowned October’s Premier League Player of the Month, with Eddie Howe winning the Manager of the Month prize.
Chelsea have been more hit and miss over a similar timeframe. Despite putting together four back-to-back wins in the Champions League, Graham Potter’s side have been beaten by Manchester City, Arsenal and Brighton in their last three domestic games.
