Chelsea will be looking to end what has been a disastrous season on a positive note when they take on Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues have picked up just one win from their last twelve Premier League games. In that period, they have only managed to finish one game without conceding a goal, which shows how poor their defence has been of late. However, ahead of this game, we expect Frank Lampard's side to build on the fact that Stamford Bridge has not been a happy hunting ground for Newcastle United in recent years - nine defeats in their last nine league games.
Talking of the away side, the Magpies secured a top-four finish for the first time in 20 years after a goalless draw with Leicester City earlier in the week. Eddie Howe's side have been unplayable at St. James' Park this season, but the fact that they have only lost three out of eighteen away games this season speaks of a great season.
Chelsea vs Newcastle United Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
As far as predictions are concerned, it is difficult to pick a clear winner as there is nothing left to play for either team.
It is now certain that the Blues will finish the season in the bottom half of the table, but do they have what it takes to end the season with a win? We expect it to be a close game with fewer than 2.5 goals, as was the case in six of the last seven encounters between these two teams.

Chelsea team news
Havertz and Rahim Sterling are Chelsea FC's joint top scorers this season with nine goals each. The latter was missing from the squad against Manchester United in midweek but is expected to be back this weekend.
Armando Broja, Reece James, Marc Cucurella, Mason Mount, Benoît Badiashile, Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kanté and Ben Chilwell all missed that game through injury and Sunday's game is set to come too soon for all of them.

Newcastle United team news
Calum Wilson is two goals away from reaching the 20-goal mark for Newcastle United this season and will be looking to add to his tally.
The 31-year-old played his 200th game for the Magpies last weekend, while Alexander Isak made his 21st appearance for the club.
Joelinton picked up a knock in preparation for the last game and is questionable for this one. Emil Krafth, Joe Willock, Matty Longstaff, Matt Ritchie and Jamaal Lascelles are injured and will miss Sunday's game.
