Chelsea Vs Newcastle: 3 players who could change the game in the upcoming Premier League fixture on Saturday in the 9th game-week.
Chelsea will face Newcastle in the upcoming Premier League fixture at the Stamford Bridge as the club football returns after the end of the international break.
Chelsea has found their momentum in the Premier League under the new manager Frank Lampard since the Blues have started grinding out results after their dreadful performance against Manchester United on the first game-week.
Currently, Chelsea sits at the 5th spot in the Premier League table with 14 points, differing from 4th place through goal-difference against Leicester City.
On the other side, Newcastle United is having a rough patch in the league table as they are just lurking away from the relegation zone. Although, they had a fantastic game-week before the start of the international break as they defeated Manchester United by 1-0 after Matt Longstaff’s strike.
It was a much required relief to Steve Bruce, whose team is predicted to get relegated by the end of the season. So, with the Toons visiting the Stamford bridge this game-week, we should look at the three players who can change the game on their own.

1. Tammy Abraham
Tammy Abraham is having a breakthrough season at Chelsea, as the striker has already scored 8 goals in the 8 games for Chelsea and is competing for the golden boot award so far.
Abraham is slowly proving his worth in Chelsea after his capabilities were doubted in his initial days with the first team. The English striker’s recent performance has made him a potent threat up front and a lethal attacker for Chelsea.
His goal-scoring ability has even got him a call up from the national team and is deemed to be the heir of Harry Kane. Therefore, we think Abraham will have a great influence in the match against Newcastle on Saturday.
2. Joelinton
Newcastle’s new signing is slowly settling in the Premier League and has been crucial for the Toons in the last few matches. Although, his stats don’t show a similar story as he has scored only 1 goal in the last 8 matches.
Despite it, the Brazilian striker has proved to be a vital inclusion in the team, as his blistering pace and strength makes tough for defenders to take on him, thus paving way for the midfielders above.
Also with Newcastle finding its touch, Joelinton will be deputed at the top in Newcastle’s fire line. Hence, he will be having the most number of chances to make a difference in the scoreboard for the toons.
Therefore, we believe that Joelinton’s presence on the field will be the most crucial for Newcastle and that is why he is in our list above any other player from the NorthEast.
3. N’golo Kante
N’golo Kante is one of the best midfielders of this generation and has been crucial in every success of Chelsea ever since he arrived at the West London club.
Although, this season Kante has been missing from the action due to fitness concerns but now the French midfielder has been declared ahead of the Premier League fixture on Saturday.
We expect Kante to make a massive impact on the game, as in his previous limited game-time in this season, he has been able to pull terrific performances.
With this, Chelsea looks like a dominant side before the match but Newcastle United would surely be fancying their chances to grab three points, especially after their win against Manchester United in the last game-week.
