Arguably the pick of the games on this weekend’s Premier League TV schedule comes from St James’s Park, where Newcastle United host Chelsea.

No matter the result, Eddie Howe’s side will head into the World Cup break in the Champions League – a reflection of the progress made in the first full season under the Saudi PIF’s ownership.

They’re the form side ahead of Saturday afternoon’s clash and will be confident they can stretch their recent run to seven wins in their last eight league games after brushing aside Southampton last weekend.

Things are not looking quite as rosy for the West Londoners, meanwhile, with Graham Potter experiencing some teething pains at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have lost three of their last four games in all competitions and slipped out of the Premier League top four.

Defeat on Saturday could see them head into the World Cup break as low as 10th if results elsewhere go against them, and you feel it’s vital Potter is able to right the ship this weekend to take some momentum into the upcoming hiatus.

Our prediction: Newcastle v Chelsea

That Newcastle head into Saturday’s game as favourites speaks to both how good Howe’s side have been in recent weeks and the Blues’ current struggles.

Potter’s unbeaten start to life at Stamford Bridge seems a long time ago now and you’d imagine he’ll be glad to see the World Cup break arrive.

The opposite will be true for the coach in the home dugout, who will worry that the 44-day hiatus will halt the Magpies’ momentum.

Chelsea look lost right now and unless they’re able to find some form ahead of Saturday, it could be another frustrating afternoon for them.

Our prediction: Newcastle 2-1 Chelsea (9/1 at bet365)
