Chelsea and Newcastle are currently more focused on the Champions League. The London club conceded five goals in Paris, but thanks to two goals, the intrigue is still alive. The Magpies, meanwhile, have a good chance of reaching the quarterfinals after a home draw with Barcelona, although it will be incredibly difficult at the Camp Nou. Their opponents' form is also poor, but abandoning the Premier League is unavoidable right now, especially for Chelsea, who are fighting for a top-four finish.
Due to a tight schedule of Champions League games and return legs, both teams will rotate today, but we don't think this will negatively impact their goal tally. Chelsea's defense is currently in disarray, which the visitors will certainly exploit, but Newcastle's defense is also a weak point.
