"Tough": Michael Owen states his prediction for Chelsea v Newcastle

Chelsea will be in action against their next Premier League rivals, Newcastle, on Monday night. The Blues are currently sitting in 5th place in the league table, while they will be looking to gain three points tonight. Ahead of the clash, pundit Michael Owen has given his prediction. He believes Thomas Tuchel's side will secure a victory, beating the Magpies with a score of 3 - 0. "Chelsea have hit a nice run of form under new manager Thomas Tuchel. The German certainly seems to have had the desired effect with the players now noticeably more organised, especially at the back," he said. "Newcastle have had a few good results of late. This will have come as such a welcome sight to the Geordie faithful after such a worrying run of form at the start of the year. "I think this one will be tough for the visitors. Chelsea have their tails up and seem to be extremely focused on securing Champions League football next season. I think they’ll have too much  and can see them running out comfortable winners."
