The case · 01

Why they should win

Chelsea

  1. 57% to win on the KhelKing goals model, a fair back price of 1.75.
  2. 1.79 expected goals to 0.93: they should create the better chances.
  3. Home advantage at Stamford Bridge, worth about three tenths of a goal.
  4. A title-level squad that can change the game from the bench.

How they could upset it

Newcastle United

  1. 19% to win plus 24% for the draw: 43% that Chelsea do not win.
  2. Counter-attacks: a favourite chasing the game leaves space behind.

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

Chelsea

Chelsea carry a title-level squad. They suffocate opponents at Stamford Bridge, so Newcastle will need a disciplined low block to stay in it.

Away

Newcastle United

Newcastle are organised and tough to break down, and they tend to earn results on the road at Stamford Bridge by controlling the middle of the pitch.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Chelsea field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Newcastle score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
