Chelsea will be hoping to keep up their good form when they face Newcastle in an all-Premier League friendly match in the United States on Thursday. The Blues have been in excellent form since the start of their pre-season tour, winning 5-0 against Wrexham in their first game of the summer pre-season campaign last midweek and 4-3 against Brighton on Sunday. The Mauricio Pochettino-led team will undoubtedly be looking for another win against Newcastle to further perfect their preparations for the new season, which begins next month.
