We simulated Chelsea vs Newcastle United to get a Premier League score prediction
Chelsea will be looking to put an end to their winless Premier League run against Newcastle United when the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.
Goals from Nicolas Jackson and Axel Disasi weren't enough to earn Chelsea three points in their last outing, with the Blues being held to a 2-2 draw against London rivals Brentford last weekend. The result left Mauricio Pochettino's side 11th in the Premier League, and if Chelsea fail to win on Monday, there's a possibility they could end the gameweek 12th in the table.
Chelsea are without a win against Newcastle in the Premier League in their last three games, with the most recent meeting ending in a 4-1 loss at St. James' Park.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.
We predict that Chelsea could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Mudryk, Sterling; Jackson.
We predict that Newcastle could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Dubravka; Livramento, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Barnes, Isak, Gordon.

A fantastic pass forward from Enzo Fernandez split open the Newcastle defence, allowing Jackson to surge through on
