It's eleven games unbeaten for Chelsea now since Jose Mourinho was shown the door. They did well to rescue a point against Manchester United last Sunday with a late goal, just as they did against Everton before Christmas. The Londoners are still only seven points ahead of the bottom three and nine off the top six. They take on a Newcastle side that has shown signs of improvement since the signings of Shelvey and Townsend but are relying on good results at home to keep them out of the relegation zone. Chelsea may be unbeaten since Mourinho left but they have only won one of their last five home league games and drawn the last four. It's a big week for them with an away game at PSG in the Champions League and a home FA Cup tie against Manchester City next weekend. Will they rest a few players to save them for those games?  Newcastle are only a point above the relegation zone but tend to drop into it after an away loss before climbing out of it with a home win. The last six home games have produced 11 points and the last five league and cup games have all been lost with just one goal scored. I go for a Chelsea home win here.
