Greetings and welcome to our blog coverage of Chelsea vs Newcastle United, an exciting Premier League match at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea under Mauricio Pochettino wants to ease the increasing strain, while Newcastle wants to get back at them and go up the standings.

Chelsea:

With Chelsea still in the bottom part of the table and nine points outside of the top six heading into this game, pressure is mounting on Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino once more.
