IMO there are no easy words now even though Chelsea are in relatively good condition but facing Newcastle will certainly not be easy because it is precisely that kind of assumption that makes them able to lose.
Moreover, Newcastle have now been transformed into a very troublesome club after their financial resources changed which of course this will be more complicated for Chelsea.
Indeed, at this time some players especially for the Newcastle attack line, are a lot of gaps because some players have to be in the treatment room but playing home with the support of their own fans at St. James Park this will be a loss if Newcastle will give up just like that.
This will still be a fierce match, Chelsea's revival in the last few matches should be watched out for by the Newcastle team, even though if we look at the quality Newcastle is much better, what Chelsea has done in the last few matches is a serious threat to Newcastle.
It has been two consecutive matches that the Chelsea team has faced strong Premier League teams and they managed to go through it without losing and now Newcastle is also one of the top Premier League teams and Chelsea is likely to be able to do the same thing too.
The large number of Newcastle players who are injured is indeed detrimental for this team and is likely to affect the team's performance, but I don't think it will be significant because a team as big as Newcastle has enough players to maintain the team's performance.
After the international break, I'm sure Newcastle and Chelsea have prepared carefully for the match. Chelsea is indeed looking impressive after getting good results against the last two big clubs, while Newcastle just suffered a defeat against Bournemouth, which is a bad result for Newcastle because they didn't manage to get any points full when facing a weaker club, but at least with this defeat Newcastle can learn and will improve the team's performance to achieve good results when facing Chelsea, especially since they will be playing at home, of course this is a big advantage for Newcastle to try to look good in front of their supporters. or maybe Chelsea will give their best performance like before to improve their current position.
Even though Newcastle have not been in form for a few matches, I think they can have a good match against Chelsea. They started the season well, but I see them as more stagnant than last season. They started to decline after 2 Dortmund defeats in the UCL. This match is considered an opportunity for them to come back to their senses. I think Newcastle is the favorite against Chelsea because they will be playing at home.
I wouldn't be so sure about Newcastle if I were you, and if it were to be the Newcastle of the last season, it's a different matter, but now, they are not that strong to reckon with them this much. Fine, Chelsea is equally a not-that-strong team but they are progressing if you would agree with me, this is why I would like to stay out of this game, it's such that I don't just bother myself about it. But on a closer look in relation to the recent stat of the two clubs, I choose Chelsea. The Chelsea that could draw Man City when they last met and scored a whole 4 goals can't certainly be underestimated. They also distributed these goals well and scored 2 each in both the first and second half to prove that it's not a matter of luck but dedicated work.
Whereas, a day before then, Newcatsle was beaten by Bournemouth with 2 goals to nothing, the less performing club they could have beaten easily if they were indeed in a good feat as you envisaged. However, the last five matches of the two clubs have the same standing, this is another reason why it's difficult to predict who would win. But if Chelsea could prepare just the way they played against Man City, there is nothing stopping them from winning Newcastle. Another thing is that the scoring goal of Chelsea has improved considerably well, they might mount pressure on Newcastle, and if they can work on their defence tightly enough, then Chelsea might defeat Newcastle.
