Chelsea vs Newcastle live stream: How to watch Premier League game online and on TV, team news

The Chelsea vs Newcastle live stream is a meeting between two of the Premier League’s biggest underperformers — and you can watch it live from anywhere with a VPN.   

Chelsea’s unpredictable season continued last week with a 2-2 draw to Brentford, this follow-up an uncomfortably nervy FA Cup win over Championship Leeds and a Carabao Cup final defeat to Liverpool that is likely to sting for quite a long time. Chelsea were hoping to challenge for some form of European football this season, but with each passing week that is looking less likely. The Blues are currently in 11th position, but they do have a game in hand on several of the clubs above them, which gives them a slight hope of pushing up the table.  

It’s been a similarly disappointing season for Newcastle. Last season they finished in the top four, but that’s an achievement they almost certainly will not be replicating this season. Last weekend’s 3-0 win over Wolves was an unexpected return to the type of performance the Toon Army enjoyed throughout 2022/23, but Newcastle have been hugely inconsistent this year and cannot seem to put together a run of good results. However, qualifying for some form of European football is still within the club’s grasp, so they still have strong motivation to fight for every point. 

Adding some extra spice to this encounter is the last time these sides met back in December in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. Newcastle were on the verge of progressing to the semi-final, before a 92nd-minute mistake from Kieran Trippier gifted Chelsea a goal, and the Blues went on to win on penalties. Expect Newcastle to want to banish those demons on this return to Stamford Bridge. 

Here's how they line up:

Chelsea: Petrovic, Cucurella, Chalobah, Disasi, Fernandez, Caicedo, Gallagher, Gusto, Sterling, Jackson, Palmer.

Newcastle: Dubravka, Livramento, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock, Almiron, Isak, Gordon.

The Chelsea vs Newcastle live stream should be a thrilling encounter between two sides that are capable of playing impressive football when at their best. We’ve got all the details you need to watch this EPL match from anywhere down below.
