Chelsea vs Newcastle live stream — how to watch Premier League 21/22 game online

The Chelsea vs Newcastle live stream features two teams in scintillating form, but there will be a cloud of uncertainty hanging over this match. This will be the first game at Stamford Bridge since Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the U.K. government and the club was effectively frozen, which could lead to an abnormal atmosphere.  

If the turbulent behind-the-scenes events are impacting the Chelsea players they certainly didn’t show it against Norwich. Chelsea overcame the bottom-of-the-table side with a hard-fought 1-3 victory in midweek. The second half wasn’t quite as comfortable as the first, and after giving away a needless penalty it looked for a few minutes that Norwich could punish Chelsea’s lack of killer edge, but a Kai Havertz goal in the 90th minute secured all three points. 

This result continues Chelsea's run of consecutive victories, which now stands at four. After a small mid-season blip effectively knocked them out of the title race, the side are looking back to their best. Which makes them a fierce opposition for just about anyone; with so much uncertainty surrounding the club, Chelsea are doing all of their talking on the pitch. 

The London-based side will feel confident coming into this one, especially after the reserve fixture at St James’ Park saw them come away with a comfortable 0-3 win. However, that was a very different Newcastle side and right now the Magpies are soaring.

Newcastle are unbeaten in nine Premier League games, having won six games in that period and are currently on a three-game win streak. Their most recent victory came in midweek over Southampton, with January signings Chris Wood and Bruno Guimaraes scoring their first goals for the club. Manager Eddie Howe was also just named February's EPL Manager of the Month for the side’s recent impressive results. 

It’s not all good news up in the North East, though. Newcastle are quietly suffering from injury issues that aren’t far off a crisis. Important players Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier are long-term absentees, plus Joelinton and Allan Saint-Maximin both missed the Southampton game. Neither of those latter two starts today either, though Saint-Maximin is on the bench. 

Here's how they line up:

Chelsea: Mendy, Rudiger, Christensen, Jorginho, Kante, Werner, Chalobah, Mount, Ziyech, Havertz, Sarr.

Newcastle: Dubravka, Schar, Lascelles, Targett, Manquillo, Wood, Murphy, Almiron, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes.

Will either of these teams see their unbeaten streak ended? Find out by watching the Chelsea vs Newcastle live stream, which we'll show you how to do below. And make sure you don’t miss a game this season with our how to watch Premier League 21/22 hub.
