'Hoping for a miracle' - Newcastle vs Chelsea preview podcast

Newcastle United face Chelsea this Saturday at St James' Park in search of their first win of the season.

Andrew Musgrove and John Gibson preview the game on The Everything is Black and White Podcast - and it's fair to say that neither are looking for to the clash.

With Chelsea thumping Norwich City last weekend seven-nil, there's a fear that the Magpies may suffer similar punishment at the hands of Thomas Tuchel's side.

Graeme Jones will lead the Magpies hoping to secure three valuable points, although there's an acceptance that United are very much the underdogs.

"I do fear Chelsea," Gibbo told Andrew, "they are good, and literally are a team - solid at the back, a fluid midfielder and vibrant forwards, so it's going to be a test.

"They are a class side - they got seven against Norwich but were without their two main strikers and yet looked wonderful up top.

"They move the ball so well and pull defenders all over the shop.

"When you look at the fact we've conceded 19 goals in nine games, you worry.

"You're not going to get the best odds on keeping our first clean sheet and first win on Saturday."
