Live Soccer TV's match preview provides match facts, team news, and global broadcast listings for Chelsea's away fixture against Newcastle United on Saturday, January 18, 2020.

Preview: Newcastle vs Chelsea

Chelsea come into this game off the back of a 3-0 win over Burnley, which is their first victory of 2020. Frank Lampard's side had to settle for a disappointing 1-1 draw against Brighton on New Year's Day, but are still comfortably in fourth spot ahead of their away trip to face Newcastle.

In three days' time the Blues will face cross-town rivals Arsenal in a London Derby, but their focus will be definitely on this upcoming game to pick up maximum points. Should they win here, they will have won consecutive away games against the Toons for the first time in over a decade.

Newcastle, for their part, are not totally in danger of relegation just yet, but they sit just five points away from the drop zone. They have won just one of their last five games and come into this match on a four game winless streak, with losses in three of those ties. In general, 40 is the magic number in most leagues to avoid the drop, and right now they have picked up 26, with 16 games left to go until the end of the current campaign. Certainly, it goes without saying that they will do their utmost best to try to grind out a point here, especially given that they have been hit with a spate of injuries. But will it be enough to keep Chelsea at bay as they have won just one of their last eight meetings with the Blues?

Team news: Newcastle vs Chelsea

Newcastle: Paul Dummett, Dwight Gayle, Jonjo Shelvey, and Fabian Schar are all still out. Allan Saint-Maximin could return here, however, after seemingly recovering from a hamstring injury.

Chelsea: Mega-American signing Christian Pulisic remains on the treatment table, while star midfielder N'Golo Kante will have to be assessed following a hamstring issue.
