Newcastles’ home form in the Premier League isn’t the best of late, winning two, drawing one and losing two. Indeed those two losses were recorded in their most previous home matches, where they lost to Everton 1-2 and 0-3 to Leicester. They have a decent record against Chelsea though, they’ve won four out of the last six meetings at St James’, drawing one and losing one.
