With the last international break of 2020 over, the Premier League returns this weekend with Chelsea travelling to take on Newcastle United in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off. 

After beating Sheffield United 4-1 in their last league match, the Blues are now six undefeated in the top-flight and sit just three points off top spot.

However, having dropped points in tow of their four away league matches this term, Frank Lampard’s side will expect a tough test from a Magpies side who are just four points behind them in the table.

Chelsea are in 5th position after beating the Blades.
