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

Chelsea will look to continue their resurgence in form when they travel to St James’ Park to face a Newcastle side that continues to struggle with a depleted squad — and you can watch it live from anywhere with a VPN.   

Newcastle are currently in 7th in the Premier League table, through to the Carabao Cup quarter-final (Where they will face Chelsea again), and still in with a chance of qualifying from their difficult Champions League group. On paper, it’s a strong position but the Magpies are badly wounded with an injury list that only seems to grow each week. Before the latest international break, the side stumbled against Bournemouth losing 2-0, and with a tough schedule over the holidays, things might get worse before they get better for Newcastle.  

Conversely, after a rocky start to the season, the mood around Chelsea is slowly starting to shift as new manager Mauricio Pochettino’s methods appear to be finally bearing fruit. Chelsea’s win over Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup was expected, but the 1-4 thrashing of Spurs was impressive, even if the home side did have two players sent off. However, it was the recent 4-4 draw with Man City that displayed Chelsea’s newfound spirit and grit. For most of the season so far they’ve looked fragile, but now they look capable of competing. 

Here's how they line up: 

Newcastle: Pope, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Livramento, Miley, Bruno Guimaraes Joelinton, Almiron, Isak, Gordon.

Chelsea: Sanchez, James, Badiashile, Thiago Silva, Cucurella, Ugochukwu, Fernandez, Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling, Jackson.

The last thing this threadbare Newcastle team need right now is the arrival of a Chelsea side that is finally clicking into gear. And there’s no doubt that the away side will fancy their chances. But to see how this one plays out you’ll need to watch a Newcastle vs Chelsea live stream, and we have all the details down below. 

Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.
