What TV channel Chelsea v Newcastle United is on: Streaming details plus injury news

Newcastle United head into today’s game aiming to banish the demons from their 1-0 defeat against Brighton last weekend. Eddie Howe’s side know that a defeat against the Blues would see them fall five points behind them in the Premier League table, but a win would see them leapfrog their hosts and reignite their bid for European football.

Newcastle don’t have a good record at Stamford Bridge, however, having won there just once in the Premier League - with that win coming over 12 years ago. They were defeated 3-2 last season in a result that hugely damaged their hopes of qualifying for European football.
