EPL: Chelsea vs Newcastle: Tuchel says it will be difficult

Chelsea will return to action this weekend in the English Premier League when they host Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues head to the match after they defeated Norwich City in their last game on Thursday in a 3-1 scoreline.

Chelsea will head to the game with a major boost as they hope to pick all three points against the Magpies.

Ahead of the match, the Blues manager Thomas Tuchel has said the game would be a difficult one for his squad, considering how strong Newcastle are.

Tuchel said, “Maybe, but I don’t care, I want us to win. It will be a difficult one because Newcastle is very, very strong.

“It’s a different Newcastle and they produce a lot of results, so I’m expecting a very tough game.”

The Blues are currently seated at the third spot on the EPL table behind Man City and Liverpool, who are sitting at the first and second spot, respectively.

In another report, Chelsea bank accounts have been frozen following the latest sanction placed on them by the UK government.
