How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Chelsea
Chelsea are built to control games. They should hold most of the ball at Stamford Bridge and pin Newcastle back for long periods.
Away
Newcastle United
Newcastle combine structure with enough quality in the final third to punish mistakes on their trip to Stamford Bridge. Midfield control is their foundation.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Chelsea name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Newcastle score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Chelsea vs Newcastle
Chelsea take on Newcastle United in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Chelsea's way. The gap in expected goals (1.76 for Chelsea, 1.00 for Newcastle) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 55% for Chelsea. Newcastle's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
