Chelsea vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from Stamford Bridge
Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Chelsea vs Newcastle United
Aiming to end a dismal Premier League campaign on a positive note, Chelsea kick off their final fixture of the season sitting 12th in the table - though they could still finish anywhere between 11th and 14th. Interim manager Frank Lampard has won just one and lost eight of his 10 matches since returning to the club, and his side suffered a 16th league defeat of the season on Thursday, when they were beaten 4-1 by Manchester United at Old Trafford. Form may not be on their side, then, but the Blues have not dropped points at home to Newcastle since May 2012.
