Chelsea have won eight of their last 10 Premier League games against Newcastle, including the last three on the bounce. They last won more consecutively against the Magpies in the league between April 1957 and September 1958 (six matches). On top of that, the Blues have won each of their last eight Premier League home games against Newcastle. The Blues have only had four longer winning home runs against an opponent in their league history, most recently a run of nine against Bolton between 1976 and 2003. Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 34 Premier League home games played in March (29 wins and five draw), since a 4-2 loss against Sunderland in 2001.
