The chase for Champions League football heats up with a blockbuster clash on the cards, as Chelsea head north to face Newcastle United, with both sides dead even on points on the Premier League table.
Eddie Howe and Enzo Maresca will send their sides into Sunday's high-stakes showdown level on 63 points, with only goals scored separating them in the table. For Newcastle, victory would put one foot firmly in next season's Champions League. But if Chelsea snatch all three points on Tyneside, the whole picture could change, leaving the Magpies clinging to fading hopes and possibly reliant on other results.
Newcastle ground out a potentially pivotal point on the south coast last time out, a result that might carry weight come the final standings in just a few weeks. Chelsea, on the other hand, made a statement with a commanding 3-1 win over league champions Liverpool, trimming the gap to Howe's men just in time for this crunch clash.
While Maresca's side first had to navigate a midweek Conference League tie against Djurgarden, Newcastle have enjoyed a full week to fine-tune their plans. With just two home games left in the campaign, Sunday's fixture could be season-defining for both these sides.

Newcastle team news
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is dealing with a growing injury list ahead of Sunday's showdown. Lewis Hall (ankle), Matt Targett (thigh), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), and Joelinton (knee) are all ruled out. Adding to the concern, both Fabian Schar and Kieran Trippier picked up thigh issues in the previous outing and will face late fitness checks to determine their availability against Chelsea.
Chelsea team news
It's not all smooth sailing for Blues head coach Enzo Maresca either. Wesley Fofana and Omari Kellyman have both been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign with thigh problems, while Christopher Nkunku is sidelined again due to a minor knock. Mykhailo Mudryk is still serving a suspension, though Marc Guiu could make his return to the squad in time for the trip to St. James’ Park.
