What is at stake for Chelsea vs. Newcastle United?

With Chelsea highly likely to be eliminated from the Champions League by PSG, this game has taken on greater significance for Liam Rosenior's team.

Victory for Chelsea would see them move into third position in the Premier League table on goal difference, a consequence of Manchester United not playing Aston Villa until Sunday.

While Newcastle start the weekend down in 12th position in the top-flight standings, they are only nine points adrift of their fifth-placed hosts.

Eddie Howe's team could end Saturday as high as ninth if they can earn three points in West London.
