Chelsea and Newcastle will play their final 90 minutes of football this season at Stamford Bridge.
Newcastle have already secured a spot in the Champions League next season. However, a win today in London and a loss from Manchester United will see them climb to third place.
Chelsea fans will be happy to see the season end as they currently sit 12th. The only way they can finish 11th is if Crystal Palace who sit 11th lose in their game today against Nottingham Forest and the blues secure all three points against Newcastle. The home side could also finish lower depending on the result for Wolves and West Ham.
Newcastle supporters will remember this season for years to come. Playing in the Carabao Cup final, a top 4 finish and qualification for the Champions League has created a surreal season.
Chelsea fans, on the other hand, have been hoping for this season to finish. Four managers later and a lot of money spent, fans of the blues have not seen their team in a state like this for a while.
