Chelsea obviously love a visit from the Toon Army because they have won more Premier League home matches versus Newcastle than they have against any other team (18).

On the other hand, Newcastle have won just one of their past 26 away league games against Chelsea (D7 L18), losing the last seven in a row. 

As we already know, Chelsea have won eight consecutive games against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge in all competitions for the first time since December 2007, with six different managers taking charge of these wins.

More worrying the fact that Newcastle have lost three consecutive away Premier League games for the first time since May 2018. 

On a personal note, Steve Bruce has won just one of his 22 Premier League matches against Chelsea as manager (D5 L16), losing each of the last seven in a row.

Chelsea named five English players in their starting XI for a Premier League match (Fikayo Tomori, Barkley, Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Abraham) for the first time since February 2013, which was also against Newcastle.

Hudson-Odoi became the first teenager to create five or more chances in a Premier League game for Chelsea since Romelu Lukaku v Blackburn in May 2012.
