Chelsea FC VS Newcastle United kickoff

Chelsea FC are preparing for a crucial match against Newcastle United, and the supporters are looking forward to their success.

Despite the Blues' impressive pre-season performance, Chelsea supporters are still concerned about the number of goals conceded and the instability of the team's defence. 

Despite this, the game against Newcastle has been labelled as the most significant challenge for Chelsea under Pocchetino's leadership. A victory against them would result in their third consecutive win, providing a much-needed boost to their campaign ahead of the new season.

Chelsea's upcoming game could feature Reece James, who has recently joined the team. While Pocchetino is preparing for his new contract, there's a chance that James could step up and perform on the field. 

Meanwhile, Newcastle United is gearing up for Serie A success in the Champions League, facing an experienced team. With the arrival of Tonali Sandro from AC Milan and Harvey Barnes from Leicester City, Newcastle is set to make a strong statement by taking on Serie A rival Chelsea in today's game.
