It's great to see two teams going head-to-head in this race for the top five and Chelsea probably come into it in better form after getting a great result against Liverpool on Sunday.
Yes, they were playing straight after Liverpool had won the title and the Reds had probably been celebrating all week, but they still had to put them away and they did that convincingly.
It means Enzo Maresca's side have won their past three league games so they will be full of confidence ahead of this one, but it's going to be tough for them to extend that run.
We know Maresca is a stickler for playing out from the back, but doing that against Newcastle is asking for trouble. The Magpies will put them under serious pressure, because that's what they do to teams at St James' Park.
Newcastle have got a very physical midfield which might be where the battle is won and lost, and of course Alexander Isak is such a threat too.
Chelsea have got match-winners too, if Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke are firing, and my first thought was that there will be lots of goals in this game.
With what's at stake, though, it might be a little cagier than that. I think the BBC readers will go for a draw but I am going to stick my neck out and say Newcastle will edge it.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy is having the season of his career.
Murphy had two loan spells in the Championship in his first three seasons at Newcastle - with West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield Wednesday.
His career has been somewhat of a slow burner. Until this season he had not scored more than four Premier League goals in a season.
"I do have targets, but I never try to force it," said Murphy.
"I always let it come to me if I'm doing the correct things. That's how the universe works, it'll always find you. This season it has been finding me.
"I have a great striker in Alex [Isak] to provide for and great experience behind me. Everything is clicking to help elevate my game and then I think my game elevates others."
Murphy was part of the Newcastle team that beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final in March - and set up Isak's goal to make it 2-0.
That was the Magpies' first trophy since the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 - and their first domestic one since the 1955 FA Cup.
Murphy also played in the 2023 Carabao Cup final, which Newcastle lost to Manchester United.
"Wembley was amazing," said Murphy. "The feeling was a lot different this time compared to when we were runners-up a couple of seasons ago.
"We felt ready. We felt this was our time. The build-up was good. A lot less nerves. Once the game started something felt different."
With the race for Champions League football reaching the final few hurdles, we asked our fan contributors of five clubs involved to let us know if their team will make the top five and if not, what happens next.
Here is what Matty Renton at The Magpie Channel, external had to say...
Here is what the other four contenders' fans thought about the race for Champions League football...
Man City will make the top five because "simply, we are one of the best teams in the country"
Chelsea will make the top five because of "belief generated" by win over Liverpool
Nottingham Forest will make the top five because of a "more favourable" run-in
Aston Villa will make the top five because "we know exactly what we need to do"

The correct answer is Tino Livramento.
On the latest episode of his BBC Sounds podcast, Kyle Walker talks about Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's title, the race for the Champions League and dealing with injury at AC Milan.
Image source, Getty ImagesEarlier on Friday, Newcastle announced they will be making changes to their crest in a 'refine and revive' approach, external to modernise the historic badge.
A survey will be sent out to season ticket holders and members to offer their thoughts on how it will be shaped.
We asked for your views on whether the crest should be updated:
Mike: I like the current badge but let's see what option(s) are being proposed. It needs to retain our heritage and identity, and not just be updated as it makes something easier/cheaper to reproduce. Fans take pride in these things and don't want to be stuck with an embarrassing design for the next decade or so. Be good to have a ballot between options including retaining the current design.
Jamie: I see no need to change the club crest. It defines the club in an iconic way and should continue to do so going forward.
Paul: I don't think the crest needs to change as there are plenty of other ways to brand NUFC without changing the crest. This already takes place today and there's a plethora of logos new and old. The crest is iconic, at least to us supporters. The rationale provided for a change isn't strong enough in my opinion. I'm all for change but it needs to be justified and meaningful.
Stuart: There are certain things that should not be changed. It's a fine badge - leave it as it is!
Westy: I'm happy that we are in a new era for the club and may this era bring success. As for the club crest changing. I'm not a fan of that idea for two reasons. One: We've seen other clubs change their crest and they look terrible. It'll be the same with ours. I believe we have the best-looking crest in world football. There's just no way we can improve it. The second reason, (a pretty selfish reason) is I have the current crest tattooed on my chest where the badge usually sits on the shirt. The current crest is iconic - it's beautiful. It's Newcastle United how I've always known it in my nearly 31 years of existence.
Ian: I'm guessing a more basic crest would be cheaper to produce on merchandise and that allows for more profit. There is nothing wrong with the crest we have now. If it has to change, I would like to see the Tyne Bridge incorporated.
Fan with badge tattoo reacts to crest change plan
There will be many reasons why Newcastle fans do not want the club badge to change, but those with it inked onto their skin may have a slightly more personal reason for their predicament.
The sentiment of history is - of course - deeply valued, but when something has been tattooed on to you there is no way of going back!
Magpies fan Matty, who has the badge tattooed on his leg, told BBC Radio Newcastle he is "shocked but not surprised" by their decision because a lot of other football clubs have made modernised badges in recent years.
He anticipates a circular badge and not the current shield shape, but as long as it "represents Newcastle in a good way" he is open to the change.
Image source, Newcastle United FCNewcastle have announced they plan to update the club's crest but want supporters help in the "thoughtful evolution process".
Season ticket holders and members will be invited to take part in a survey that allows them to say what should stay the same, or could be updated, as they "Refine & Revive" the crest.
"This isn't a decision we take lightly," said the club in a statement, external. "We love our crest. It's iconic and has stood us through unforgettable triumphs and testing times.
"But it was created in a different era. Its intricate design doesn't always translate well in today's digital world. And it's difficult to reproduce it clearly and consistently.
"As football and the world changes, so too must the symbol that unites us."
What do you make of it?
Should the club's iconic badge be left alone or do you agree it needs updating to move with the times?

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Chelsea (kick-off 12:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Howe said there are a "couple of players being assessed" but that "we are OK and focused on the next match".
The Newcastle boss however remains "unsure" whether Joelinton will play again this season because of his knee injury and explained the Brazil midfielder has been in Barcelona for treatment.
On the race for the Champions League: "Every game we have between now and the end of the season becomes our biggest game of the season. We know the importance of where we finish in the Premier League and we are doing everything we can to finish as high as we can. There's a possibility it could go to the last game but all we can do is take care of our next opponent."
On summer spending plans: "I don't know the intricacy of our financial position if we qualify but it doesn't change our targets and who we want to sign in terms of the pool of players we will look at. It's where we want to play and be in the highest levels of competitions as possible. We want to test ourselves to the absolute maximum."
He described Dan Burn as a "standard-bearer" for the football club: "At the start of the campaign, if he could have written the dream season this would be very close. But he has not settled and he still wants to give more."
On Chelsea: "In the game at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season they were excellent. It was one of our most difficult games of the season. Enzo [Maresca] is a very good manager and very clever with what he does. They've got great attacking players who can hurt us and so we need to be ready for that."
Howe said it would be "unwise" to focus on Cole Palmer but conceded the Chelsea midfielder is "a huge goal threat" and Newcastle will "have to deal with his qualities".

Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Newcastle United defender Steve Howey believes Sven Botman's return to full fitness would be as good as having a new signing.
The Dutch defender has suffered numerous setbacks in the past couple of seasons including an ACL injury in March 2024.
"He's got to be thankful really of how medicine has moved," Howey told BBC Radio Newcastle. "Back in the day, ACL, you were done. All over.
"He has had problems with, I'm not sure, one knee or both. It's a difficult one because he is desperate to get back and you have to pull the reins on him. You play him too much and he will get other injuries.
"There is absolutely no doubt that the lad is a good player. He is big, strong, aggressive, can pass, can head and, if he stays clear of injury, he'd be like a new signing. It'd be a huge plus to the team."
Guess the current Newcastle player from these three clues:
My first Premier League appearance was for Southampton.
My only Premier League goal for Newcastle was scored against Wolves.
I made my England debut earlier this season.

Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle boss Eddie Howe says midfielder Sean Longstaff remains motivated to perform at St James' Park and must be ready to seize his opportunity when it arrives.
"I don't look at it that way," Howe told BBC Radio Newcastle. "I don't have to motivate him. He should motivate himself - he is here representing the club he loves.
"He has to be ready to take his chance when it comes. Any train of thought that I have to - I can't do that for all 25 players.
"But Sean is motivated. He has been brilliant behind the scenes, he is training well and he's got undoubted qualities. He also has a contract for next year.
"The control is very much in his hands as to what he wants to do for his long-term future. And we are certainly delighted to have him."
Longstaff has not started in the Premier League since the 4-2 defeat by Brentford in December, his only start since then coming against Bromley in the FA Cup.
Despite his limited minutes, Howe insisted Longstaff retains a further clarified his statements and explained that he's more than happy to have at his disposal.
"He's got our utmost respect - he's been a brilliant servant to the football club. He's still a very valued member of the squad with a big part to play."
Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle boss Eddie Howe has won seven of his 20 meetings with Chelsea in all competitions, although each of them has come against a different manager (Mourinho, Conte, Sarri, Lampard, Potter, Pochettino, Maresca).
Striker Alexander Isak has recorded the most goals (19) and non-penalty goals (15) in the Premier League since the start of December, while is second only to Mohamed Salah (30) for goal involvements (23) over the same period of time.
The Swede could score in a fourth successive league game against Chelsea, something he has only done before in the competition against Brentford and Nottingham Forest.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe pressure can be very, very high for a game like Newcastle and Chelsea this weekend.
It is that idea of it being a six-pointer - which is such a cliche thing - but it does matter at the end of the season because you know you are not going to play them again.
This is the moment to gain something or take away from the opponent. As a consequence, there is pressure on it.
The fans are aware of that. After this, they will only have two games left. So any sort of issues that come from losing this game, they know they will not really have the time to fix and will have to look elsewhere at results.
The teams being on the same amount of points right now just adds to that. So while there is pressure, it is more of an exciting pressure because you are playing for something really significant.
Both sides can still qualify for Champions League football but it is a great opportunity to get ahead of the other. With the quality they have, both teams will believe that if they finish this match in front, they will not be caught.
At this point of the season, results are definitive. Wherever clubs finish, they deserve to be there because they have been able to manage these moments and manage these big games.
Players going into this fixture know it will be tough because they are facing a team that is good as theirs with quality players and with difference-makers on the bench. They also know if they are playing away from home that the crowd is going to be hostile. Not just casually hostile, but ridiculously hostile, because they know how big the game is as well.
It is in the preparation. Both sides need to give themselves the best chance of playing as well as they can - individually and collectively - to get the win. Even though it is three points, it will feel bigger.
It is going to be pressure-packed, but it will be a great game of football because the players will play as if it is the last game they are ever going to play.

"There's no better day than derby day"
John Turrell from Smoove & Turrell told BBC Radio Newcastle he wants Sunderland back in the Premier League next season.
It would require the Black Cats getting through the Championship play-offs, starting against Coventry City on Friday night.
How far do you agree with him?
