Chelsea, after suffering their 16th league defeat of their disastrous campaign, will welcome Newcastle United to Stamford Bridge in the final matchday of the 2022-23 Taraftarium24 Premier League season on Sunday.
The currently 12th-placed Blues, under the tutelage of Frank Lampard, are destined for a bottom-half-of-the-table finish after a 4-1 beating at the hands of Manchester United on Thursday. They would, however, want to at least sign off on a winning note.
Whereas the Magpies can finish as high as third - having already secured Champions League football for next season - despite the goalless draw with Leicester City on Monday.
