Club historian Rick Glanvill and statistician Paul Dutton provide insights leading up to the match, shedding light on the past clashes, injury updates, and potential lineup changes.

Chelsea’s recent Monday night games have been successful, with a streak of unbeaten matches. Despite a draw against Brentford last week, the Blues are poised to close the gap on the table, with key players potentially returning to the lineup.

Strategically, Chelsea may revert to a back four formation for the upcoming game against Newcastle, with the possibility of certain players stepping in to fill the gaps left by injuries and absences.

In the history of their encounters, Chelsea has a dominant record at Stamford Bridge against Newcastle, with only one loss in the past decade. Key players like Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon will be integral to Newcastle’s game plan to secure a positive result.

As the two teams prepare to face off under the lights at Stamford Bridge, both sides will be eager to secure crucial points in the race for European qualification, making this Monday night clash a significant fixture in the Premier League.
