Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 181

Chelsea wins: 81

Draws: 41

Newcastle wins: 59

Often a keenly-anticipated battle and one that first took place all the way back in 1907, there have now been 181 competitive showdowns between Chelsea and Newcastle, and the Blues trump their northern counterparts in the victories column.

Indeed, the West London giants have managed 81 triumphs against the Magpies, who in turn boast a respectable 59 victories of their own, and another 41 matches have seen the two managers shake hands on a point each.

The most recent of the encounters saw the Magpies stun Chelsea in West London 1-0 in March 2026, with Anthony Gordon scoring the game's only goal after 18 minutes, and Liam Rosenior's men were unable to respond.

The victory ended Newcastle's wait for a league win at Stamford Bridge since Papiss Cisse scored one of the most outrageous goals that the Premier League will ever see - an unbelievable outside-of-the-foot volley that flew over Petr Cech into the far side of the net - one that even forced a bewildered smile from an astonished Didier Drogba.

Having waited 14 years since that May 2012 triumph, Eddie Howe masterminded a win in the capital to end years of agony for the Toon Army at the Bridge.

The 1-0 victory followed a reverse fixture of two distinct halves at St James' Park in December 2025, with Nick Woltemade's first-half double cancelled out by goals from Reece James and Joao Pedro in the second period as the game ended 2-2.

The Blues' most recent victory in this fixture came as recently as October 2024, where Cole Palmer came up with the decisive moment in a 2-1 Stamford Bridge success.

However, Newcastle avenged that loss a matter of days later, defeating Enzo Maresca's team 2-0 to reach the EFL Cup quarter-finals on a disastrous evening for Axel Disasi.

The Magpies then got the better of the capital club in May 2025, securing a 2-0 success over the Blues to move three points clear of the West Londoners, who had Nicolas Jackson sent off after 36 minutes for violent conduct.

It was honours even in the 2023-24 Premier League season between these two sides, as after Newcastle destroyed Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea in a 4-1 St James' Park slaughter, the Blues gained vengeance with a 3-2 success at Stamford Bridge.

In between those two five-goal thrillers, Newcastle were on the verge of knocking Chelsea out of the 2023-24 EFL Cup in the quarter-finals, only for Mykhaylo Mudryk to equalise in added time and Djordje Petrovic to make himself the hero in the penalty shootout.

Going back further, Chelsea came out on top in one of the biggest meetings between the sides to date, the 1999-2000 FA Cup semi-final, where Gus Poyet's double propelled the Blues to victory before they conquered Aston Villa in the final.

Historical figures boast the best individual scoring records in this battle, as Jackie Millburn scored 12 for Newcastle against Chelsea, while Ron Tindall and Jimmy Greaves managed 11 and 10 respectively for the Blues.
