Former Chelsea man, Chris Sutton has admitted it’s difficult to call Chelsea’s clash with Newcastle on Saturday due to the two sides’ inconsistent form lately.

The Blues are currently 10th on the Premier League table after picking up 16 points from their opening games. Chelsea are however in fine form at the moment, and have lost just once in their last eight outings across all competitions.

Newcastle remain unbeaten at home in their last four matches, despite losing to Bournemouth the last time out, and Sutton has now gone for a 1-1 draw between the two sides when they meet at St. James’ Park on Saturday, November 25.

“Newcastle looked really jaded in their defeat by Bournemouth before the international break,” the pundit said.

“They have got some injured players back in contention, including Alexander Isak, but the question is how fit are they, and how much has changed in two weeks?

“It’s a similar story with Chelsea, who could hand Christopher Nkunku his debut but, if that happens, it will probably be off the bench. They are improving, yes, but they are still so erratic, which makes this game almost impossible to call.

“There are signs they have turned a corner and they were so impressive at times against Manchester City but you can’t rely on them to play well again here.

“To be honest, I feel like giving up when it comes to making predictions about Chelsea games anyway – I get their scores wrong every week, so I am ready to be proved wrong again here.”
