Chelsea at Newcastle United
Barclays Premier League
GUEST: Robert, Managing Editor of Coming Home Newcastle (http://cominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com/)
@BishopSBN
Talking Points:
Newcastle won at home to end Chelsea’s unbeaten streak
Most Chelsea fans used not having Matic as the excuse
Newcastle are coming off a 3-1 loss to Man United and a 1-0 loss in the FA Cup to Leicester City
Newcastle doesn’t have a manager at the moment, only a caretaker. This shouldn’t change too much though, right? I mean he’s essentially just maintaining what Pardew was doing.
Rumors that Mike Ashley wants to sell the club. How does that affect the team’s focus?
Sissoko rumored to be heading to PSG
Chelsea are 9-0-0 at Stamford Bridge, but are coming off a heavy loss to Tottenham and an expected win against Watford in the FA Cup
Chelsea don’t have any reported injuries nor anybody going to the African or Asian Cup thanks to Drogba turning down that opportunity
Newcastle have two players at the African Cup: Papiss Cisse (thankfully!) and Cheick Tiote and 12 reported injuries mainly to the defensive unit, right?
Tim Krul looks set to return though
Four Four Two Highlights
Key Battle: Costa vs Dummett
Newcastle have scored more goals via substitutes than anybody else (cough Cisse, cough)
Chelsea score on 18% of shots and their shots are on frame 50% or the time (most in PL)
