Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Newcastle - Chelsea match

Sky Sports football expert Charlie Nicholas believes Chelsea will beat Newcastle at St. James Park. Here is how Nicholas has explained his decision
"I have never seen injuries like it at Newcastle. It may have been Rochdale but Steve Bruce wanted his side to get through. He is not particularly fighting a relegation battle but how things could materialise could mean that they end up doing so. There is still a lot of work to done."  
"Newcastle are sitting on 26 points and may need 40 to survive - we are looking at around four wins and two draws. They may have to play this like an away game. The fans will not like it but they are down to the bare bones. Chelsea are strong away from home and can hit on the counter-attack if Newcastle leave that option open.  
"Chelsea will want to keep the gap to Wolves, Manchester United, Sheffield United, Tottenham and Arsenal. They will not want to go too inconsistent, as they will be concerned again."
