It came in a game against Everton where the side was down 0-2 as late as the 80th minute. The Cherries ended up pulling out the 3-2 victory but I don&#8217;t expect a stronger side to have such a monumental collapse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea won its only other away fixture, 6-2, in a dominant showing over Wolverhampton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I don&#8217;t believe the Blues will win the Premier League or anything, but this feels like a strong get-right spot for Chelsea who can jump Bournemouth in the standings with a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite their record, the London club is top-five in shots on target per game (6.0), goals per game (2.3) and completed passes per game (464.7). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Chelsea has won three of the past four matches against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Newcastle United to win (+112)<\/strong>:<\/strong> As eluded to earlier, the Wolves&#8217; 6-2 loss over Chelsea is just a chapter in their poor season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:94363\">Embed: #94363<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The side has yet to win a match and has a goal differential of -6 through three games. The squad finished 14th in the EPL last season and this season hasn&#8217;t started any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newcastle, on the other hand, is a team on the rise in the Premiership. They finished seventh last year and have a 2-1-0 record to start this campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its final meeting of the 2023-2024 campaign, Newcastle walked away with a 3-0 win. The defence held Wolverhampton&#8217;s attack to a measly four shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wolves have been outshot and trailed on possession in all three games so far whereas Newcastle is coming off a win over Tottenham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m riding with the momentum and taking the Magpies to come away from this match with three points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 10:28 a.m. on 09\/12\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m backing two away sides in my EPL Matchday 4 picks.
