Chelsea vs Newcastle United Tickets

You can guarantee that Stamford Bridge will be full to bursting point for this attractive Premier League clash. The trip to West London is certainly a highlight on the Magpies' schedule, and the Toon Army will be on duty for what promises to be a tight encounter.

Chelsea vs. Newcastle United History

Chelsea were well off the pace in 2022/23 and well below where they’d expect to be, while an invigorated Newcastle United side, backed by massive investment from new owners, secured a path back to the Champions League and will look to continue their upward trajectory.

If that’s the case, then a visit to Chelsea should hold no fear for Newcastle United, and in terms of trips from the north-east, the visit to London to take on genuine title challengers in recent season represents a real yardstick as to their team’s progress.

Indeed ardent Newcastle United fans may well look at the way in which Chelsea used the massive investment they received to push for and secure major silverware, something that fans of the St James’ Park outfit must surely be dreaming of, given their lengthy title and cup drought, which currently stretches back all the way to the late 60s.

Chelsea vs. Newcastle United Head to Head

Chelsea and Newcastle United have faced off at Stamford Bridge on dozens of occasions, but perhaps the most famous clash between the two occurred in May 2012 when the away side came away with all three points.

The season as a whole saw Chelsea win both the FA Cup and the Champions League, but on this occasion, they were undone by two outstanding finishes from Senegal international Papiss Cisse.

Both goals were outstanding, but his long-range lob finish in the dying seconds of the 2-0 win went on to win the goal of the season award, and the win is still fondly remembered by Newcastle United fans.

In more recent seasons, the game has gone Chelsea’s way, and back in 2016, the Blues pulled apart Newcastle United with a brace from Diego Costa and goals from Pedro, Willian, and Bertrand Traore, securing a 5-1 win.

More recently, the two drew in May 2023 with a Kieran Trippier own goal leveling an earlier Anthony Gordon strike. The season prior to that, it took an 89th-minute Kai Havertz goal to separate the sides in a feisty clash.
