Match of the Week Premier League: Financial head-to-head Newcastle United v Chelsea

In the last EPL round before the World Cup, Newcastle seek to retain their top-3 spot when they host Chelsea at St. James' Park.

After a solid start for Graham Potter, Chelsea is winless in four games and in desperate need of a triumph against an in form Newcastle side.

In terms of turnover and wages, Chelsea completely dwarf Newcastle prior to their 2021 takeover. Post-takeover transfer spending for Newcastle remains far below Chelsea's numbers.

With impressive results over the last 12 months the newly rich Magpies have had a good return so far on their extra spending in the transfer market.
