The English Premier League is returning tomorrow after the international break.

It seems Chelsea have now got the momentum following their thrilling encounter against the table topper, Manchester City. The Blues stunned the Citizens in their last league game as the match ended in a thrilling 4-4 tie. On the other hand, Newcastle United have been inconsistent for the last couple of matches. The Magpies lost back-to-back games in all competitions. The defeat against AFC Bournemouth forced Newcastle United out of the top four as they stand in 7th now. However, the Magpies are ready to host Chelsea FC tomorrow at St. James' Park, aiming to get back on the winning track.
