Newcastle United will look to end a successful campaign on a high as they face Chelsea on the final day of the Premier League season.
Eddie Howe's side have secured Champions League football for the 2023/24 season and could still finish in third place if they win and Manchester United lose against Fulham.
Chelsea have had a year to forget as they are set to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League. The Blues have sacked both Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter while spending more than half a billion pounds on transfers.

Chelsea vs Newcastle predicted lineups
Frank Lampard has switched between the 3-5-2 formation and 4-3-3 during his time as interim manager, and he is likely to go with the latter in this game, as he did at United in the 4-1 midweek defeat.
Benoit Badiashile and N'Golo Kante are both out with groin injuries while Ben Chilwell and Marcus Bettinelli are sidelined with muscle problems. Mason Mount (pelvis), Reece James (hamstring) and Armando Broja (knee) have all been ruled out for the final game of the season. Marc Cucurella is also on the injury list with a thigh problem.
Chelsea (4-3-3, right to left): Kepa (GK) — Azpilicueta, Silva, Koulibaly, Hall — Gallagher, Fernandez, Loftus-Cheek — Madueke, Havertz, Sterling
- Injured: Badiashile, Kante, Chilwell, Bettinelli, Mount, James, Broja, Cucurella
- Suspended: None
Howe has not moved away from his 4-3-3 shape all season as his Newcastle players are now very familiar with their roles when on the pitch.
Midfielders Joelinton and Joe Willock are both out with a muscle injury. Matt Ritchie and Emil Krafth have knee injuries while Nick Pope is set to miss out in the league for the first time this season with a hand injury. Jamal Lascelles will not make it back for the final game of the season due to a calf injury.
Newcastle (4-3-3, right to left): Dubravka (GK) — Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn — Longstaff, Guimaraes, Anderson — Almiron, Wilson, Isak
- Injured: Joelinton, Willock, Ritchie, Krafth, Pope, Lascelles
- Suspended: None
Chelsea vs Newcastle prediction, odds
Due to their superior league position, Newcastle are favourites heading into this match despite being the away side. Willock scored the only goal in the reverse when the two sides met back in November.
