Newcastle vs Chelsea: We expect a tough game – Tuchel

Chelsea will make a short trip to St. James Park, where they will face Newcastle United in the Premier League this weekend.

The Blues, who are currently seated at the top of the EPL table, will hope to win all three points vs Newcastle United, who are sitting at the bottom of the table and close to relegation.

Although Chelsea won their last two games against Norwich City in the EPL last weekend and against Southampton in the Carabao league, manager Thomas Tuchel in a pre-match statement, revealed he expects a tough match from the Magpies.

Tuchel stressed that the atmosphere at the St. James stadium would work for Newcastle Utd and has a considerable value to play against the Blues.

“We cannot fixate on being so-called favourites. I like how we have approached these matches, the effort we have put in, exactly what we want from our team. We know very well that you can turn things around and close gaps in 90 minutes,” Tuchel said.

The German manager noted that Newcastle would try to put up their best performance; however, he stressed that Chelsea are responsible for whatever outcome they get as they hope to set new standards and meet what they demand.

“We expect a tough game,” the Blues manager added.
