If we ignore that moment of Rudiger’s madness vs Shefield Utd, than we can say Chelsea is doing defesively very good under Tuchel. His tactics are quite similary to Conte’s when Italian was in charge. 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 possesion game with a lot of pressing all over the field. Result is 1 own goal in 5 matches.
Since Liverpool is falling down game by game and West Ham and Aston Villa don’t have high profile bench like Tuchel, battle for last CL spot is open until the end of the championship. Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz are only missings for the Blues and it won’t affect Chelsea’s gameplay too much.
Steve Bruce is in big problem with injuries. Most important player of this team, Callum Wilson, is out for 2 months. Same as Wilson, Schaar and Manquillo are out for 2 months. Their best defenders, Fernandez and Lascelles are not 100% fit since they started with training couple of days ago. Hendrick is suspended.

Newcastle were very lucky in their last game where they were outplayed by Saints and they didn’t deserve to win that game. Actually, they are playing awful through the whole season, but they are lucky there are 3 more even worse teams in a league.
I see this match going in one well known way. Newcastle will play like how they are playing this and almost every season when they face stronger opponent. Sit at back with 10 players and wait for miracle. Tuchel is a specialist for winning matches like this and I see him making a routine victory here.
