Successfully grabbing all three points from their latest big math battle against Manchester City last Monday, Chelsea are setting themselves in for another tricky contest against Newcastle United this Saturday, February 8. Jose Mourinho's men will undoubtedly be in a positive mood as they host their opponent at Stamford Bridge this weekend, but they must still put on a strong display if they're not keen on losing any precious points at home.
Newcastle themselves are not in a positive mode after they suffered a shocking defeat last weekend against Sunderland. However, Alan Pardew's men must kept their focus on as another disappointing performance could push them further away from that potential European spot finish by the end of season. Defeating Mourinho's men won't be an easy task for Pardew's boys, but grabbing a point will already be cherished by them.
Chelsea grabbed maximum points from their home fixture against Newcastle that Saturday, as Belgium international, Eden Hazard became the main act on that encounter after bagging a hat-trick, scoring all of his team's goals. Hazard opened his account on 27 minutes, before adding the second one on 34 minutes. The ex-Lille star, eventually wrapped up his excellent performance with a third goal which was netted from the penalty spot on 63 minutes.
