However, he believes the fight at Stamford Bridge will be difficult as Chelsea are looking to fourth. “Newcastle has had some good results lately,” Owen wrote. “This will be a very welcome sight for the Jordi henchmen after this disturbing streak of performances at the start of the year.” “I think that’s going to be tough on the visitors. Chelsea have their tail and seem to be very focused on securing football in the Champions League next season. I think they will have a lot and can see them lose comfortable winners,” Owen said. Chelsea are looking to move to the top four in the Premier League, Sheffield United against Chelsea – the Premier League – Chelsea have played six games unbeaten since Thomas Tuchel took over and won four games in a row in all competitions. The Blues are currently fifth in the Premier League table – one point behind defending champions Liverpool, and the Blues could move up to their much-sought-after fourth place with victory, after a stunning rise in the table in recent weeks. In their last appearance, Chelsea fought in turns for a 1–0 win over championship team Barnsley to qualify for the FA Cup semi-finals, and on Monday, the Blues will welcome Newcastle, who are just starting to set tempo soon after. A hot start to the season. After a series of 11 matches without wins, the visiting team has achieved two victories in its last three matches and is ranked 16th in the league table with 25 points from 23 games.
