Chelsea prepare to entertain Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, having won 42 and lost only 10 of the 71 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stamford Bridge was less than a year ago, in December 2007, the Blues carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premier League match.
