What's at stake between Newcastle United and Chelsea?

Last weekend's 1-0 defeat Sunderland has seemingly put Newcastle boss Eddie Howe under a certain amount of pressure to deliver an improved run of results over the Christmas and New Year period.

As already stated, Newcastle can move to within three points of their next opponents, but it will not be lost on all Magpies fans that they are four points behind fierce rivals Sunderland.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have the opportunity to move to within two points of third-placed Aston Villa prior to the West Midlands outfit facing Manchester United on Sunday.

While Chelsea hold the joint-second-best away record in the Premier League with 14 points from eight games, Newcastle have accumulated 16 points from eight fixtures at St James' Park and are also on a five-match unbeaten league run at the ground.
