In the Premier League, Newcastle and Chelsea still have a chance to qualify for the Europa League if they can finish the season in 5th place, but the current gap with 5th team Totteham is up to 13 points, 1 The distance is too far to overcome. And currently, Tottenham's performance is clearly stable and much better than Newcastle and Chelsea, so we should temporarily ignore this opportunity for both Chelsea and Newcastle. Chelsea just missed the opportunity to qualify for the Europa Conference League when they lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. They and Newcastle can only rely on the FA Cup to qualify for the Europa League if they win the championship.
There is some serious talk about the chances of these two teams which are having worst season specially Newcastle United which was doing impressive in last season now having terrible time with injuries and other issues bring them down even now they have no chance for the top six spots as well Chelsea facing issues, but their progress is good in this season now they need to stay with Pochettino because they could be more improved and balanced in coming season but Newcastle United surely going to have some changes with their development is not well-balanced and management will surely bring new faces.
In this game, we have good performance from the Chelsea, and they play better game which helps them for having win and three points Palmer make some targets which help his team for important win now we will have next match of Chelsea on 30th March which will be also good and hopefully easy win for them as well.
As far as I understand about Newcastle United, they did not take advantage of the transfer market last season by buying players. Just look at the results now when the injury storm comes, it is difficult to anticipate because of the lack of replacement options. With the finances they have, it is not difficult to buy 2 to 3 players. Meanwhile, other clubs have made slight improvements, for example against Chelsea, it was clear that Newcastle's performance was not as we know it, last season it was able to put pressure on the top teams. Now they are only in the top 10 of the standings and will be overtaken by Chelsea because they still have 1 more match left that can be put to good use. Last season, Newcastle only lost 5 times out of 38 matches, but now in 28 matches Newcastle has lost twice as many times and this figure will still increase if there is no improvement.
