This season's premier league game is on, as the blues Chelsea take on the magpies Newcastle. Chelsea is known as the "nerve knife", its performance is unpredictable and hard to catch. Newcastle, on the other hand, have a good mix of offense and defense in the league, so it's a battle between the crazy dragon and the crazy phoenix, and the over-under of 3.5 goals is really worth a look.

Chelsea has spared no expense in recent years to bring in a number of potential stars, such as Ansel Fernandes, Medilli, Moses Scarr, etc. However, with a large number of young players in the team, they really need experienced players to lead the team. Unfortunately, veteran Tiago Schwarz and captain Liz Jimenez are suffering from injuries, and vice-captain Chivier has just come back to the team. Without the pressure from their big brothers, their performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad. They were able to win against weaker teams, such as Tottenham Hotspur and draws with Manchester City and Arsenal, but were unable to win against lesser teams such as Brentford, Wolves and Ewarton, making them unpredictable. In the EFL Cup final last month, Liverpool, who were generally favored to win, failed to do so, and eventually lost the title in extra time, so they are indeed a "nervous wreck".
Away from home, Newcastle are not to be underestimated. As last season's top four finishers, they were looking forward to making a difference under the support of their new boss, but since their exit from the UEFA Europa League, the team's form has been like scattered sand, and coupled with serious injury problems, including goalkeepers such as Nick Purby, Colin Wilson and Zurlenton, the situation is worrisome.
