Chelsea will face Manchester United at home, with both teams demonstrating recent wins in European competitions and mixed results in the English Premier League.

On May 11th, 2025, St. James' Park will host a highly anticipated English Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Chelsea. AI algorithms are predicting a Newcastle United victory, despite Chelsea having a slightly higher team rate (0.785 compared to Newcastle's 0.702). While Chelsea's win probability sits at 27.1%, Newcastle holds a stronger 46.5% chance, with a 26.4% chance of a draw.
Newcastle's recent form has been impressive at home, with commanding wins against Ipswich Town, Crystal Palace, and Manchester United, showcasing their attacking prowess. Their last match resulted in a 1-1 draw away to Brighton. Key to Newcastle's success will be their dynamic forward, Alexander Isak, whose pace and clinical finishing have terrorized Premier League defenses. On the other hand, Chelsea will rely on their midfield maestro, Enzo Fernandez, to dictate the tempo and unlock Newcastle's defense.
Chelsea enters the match after a string of victories, including a recent UEFA Conference League win against Djurgården and a Premier League win against Liverpool. However, the AI suggests Newcastle’s home advantage and recent head-to-head record at St. James' Park, where they recently won 2-0 in the Carabao Cup, could tip the scales in their favor. The AI considered the last head-to-head games where Newcastle won 4-1 in the Premier League.
