Football is probably the last thing on the minds of Chelsea players, fans, staff and everyone tuning into the Premier League TV schedule for their clash with Newcastle this weekend.
The Roman empire is crumbling and sanctions have been slapped on the controversial owner, meaning the Blues cannot negotiate new contracts, sign players or even sell any further tickets for their games coming up.
There are plenty of question marks over the future of Chelsea, and their very existence, but they must shelve it all as in-form Newcastle roll into town.
Eddie Howe’s men have launched themselves comfortably up and away from the relegation scene. They’re unbeaten in nine Premier League outings, their last league defeat coming against Manchester City before Christmas.
The Magpies have also won plenty of those encounters with Chris Wood among the goals and fellow new signing Bruno Guimaraes marking his full debut at the club with an outrageous back-heel volley strike against Southampton during midweek.

Chelsea v Newcastle prediction
Chelsea may be in turmoil but they’re back in excellent form at the moment with their fleet of underperforming attacking stars finally stepping up to the plate.
Kai Havertz has scored in four of his last six appearances, while Hakim Ziyech has produced big displays lately, Mason Mount is back in the mix, Christian Pulisic has made an impact.
On the pitch, all signs are positive for Chelsea. The turbulence could even have a galvanising effect on the team. They are in for a tough slog against a team with sky-high confidence, but should come through it to extend their four-game winning run.
Our prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Newcastle (17/2 at Bet365)
