Chelsea were held to a draw by Huddersfield Town on Wednesday evening but they still have a chance of sneaking into the top four and qualifying for the Champions League next season. They have to win this game to be in with any chance of overtaking fourth placed Liverpool. Even that won't be enough if Brighton don't win at Anfield, unless of course it's a draw and Chelsea win this game by 16 goals which is really fantasy football territory. Chelsea have gone seven league and cup games without defeat but recent home draws with West Ham and Huddersfield may cost them dearly. They have won their last three away league games so will give this everything but it's all likely to end with them in the Europa League.

They take on a Newcastle side who since securing their Premier League place have lost four league games in a row. Three of those matches were away from home but Newcastle have only scored twice and seemingly can't wait for the season to come to an end even though they have a 10th place in the table to protect. Newcastle have only lost one of their last eight home league games but with Chelsea having so much to play for, an away win looks the best bet.
