Newcastle and Chelsea meet on the final Premier League matchday before the break for the World Cup. Here is how to watch, the latest odds and predictions.
Prediction: Newcastle have the best defensive record in the league this season, along with Arsenal, and Chelsea have scored the fewest goals of any of the top-nine teams in the table. Sat, Nov. A low-scoring draw feels likely in this one โ and, indeed, backing a draw would yield the best returns. The sportsbooks are finding it difficult to split these two, and that's no great surprise. 3.00 For Chelsea, Edouard Mendy will likely remain in goal, with Kepa Arrizabalaga still injured. 12 Alexander Isak, Ryan Fraser, Matt Ritchie, Emil Krafth and Paul Dummett will all miss out through injury, while Callum Wilson is a doubt due to illness. Kieran Trippier took a knock in the win at Southampton and was rested in the cup this week, but he could return to the side. โ They were also buoyed by a penalty-shootout win over Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup this week. 12:30 ET

Especially as Newcastle are in the process of turning the Big Six into the Big Seven. Callum Wilson is only fit enough to be on the bench for Newcastle.

The teenage wing-back Lewis Hall, who started at Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, makes his Premier League debut for Chelsea. He collided with Broja in the first minute.

Joe Willock's fine finish was enough to separate Chelsea and Newcastle as the Blues fall to their third consecutive Premier League defeat.
Armando Broja - The young striker had quite the battle with Sven Botman and was up for the battle with the Dutch defender. Was sent to wingback in the second half before returning to the centre of midfield and continued his efforts well. It was a shame he could not get closer to goal but had some impressive moments carrying the ball and offering Chelsea an outlet on the occasions they could release the ball upfield. Conor Gallagher - It was a very mixed evening for Gallagher with his defensive industry and contribution proving essential, but his struggle to retain possession when on the ball slowing Chelsea's ability to build attacks of their own. Some difficult moments but a performance he will benefit from overall. Lewis Hall - The 18-year-old had a couple of early, wayward passes but showed the same relentlessness as he did against Manchester City. Mateo Kovacic - It was a quiet outing from the Croatian midfielder who could not get on the ball in the centre of the pitch for Chelsea much like his Italian teammate. Saw more of the ball when Chelsea moved to three in midfield but was sloppy overall. He showed plenty of endeavour to get up and down the wing but had some sketchy moments up against the likes of Joe Willock. 6. The goalkeeper was comfortable in his usual business of claiming the ball in the air and making saves, however. Edouard Mendy - Newcastle's press ensured the Senegal international was tested with the ball at his feet to mixed success.
