Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

While Chelsea will begin a new chapter under incoming coach Mauricio Pochettino this summer, Newcastle's adventure is already stirring into life. Next term, the Toon will compete in the Champions Group stage for the first time since 2003. First, though, both will take a breather following a long, hard Premier League season.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:34

Summing up much of a sub-par season, Chelsea could not find the finishing touch to complete their build-up work today, and they must settle for a final-day draw against a Newcastle side that had to hold firm for their point. Following a fast start, the Magpies were unable to maintain their early momentum, as the hosts had most of the ball and fired in 22 shots at goal. Both teams had chances to win it, but the 2022-23 campaign ends with a share of the spoils at Stamford Bridge.

FULL-TIME: CHELSEA 1-1 NEWCASTLE UNITED

18:31

MISS! Another great chance to take three points is spurned by the hosts! Hall's brilliant cross from the left picks out Joao Felix near the penalty spot, but the Atletico Madrid loanee steers his header over the bar with the goal at his mercy!

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:26

Never truly threatening Dubravka's goal, Joao Felix sends a 20-yard free-kick over the crossbar.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:26

SAVE! Somehow, Chelsea fail to win it! Sterling takes the bull by the horns and runs straight at a back-tracking Newcastle defence through the centre. He then lays the ball perfectly into the path of Pulisic on the left side of the box, but with time to pick his spot the latter only fires straight at Dubravka from close range!

Yet another foray into the box by Madueke sees two Newcastle defenders left with their heads spinning, before his driven cross is cut out by Dubravka at the near post.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:20

Following a Madueke throughball, Chukwuemeka's cutback from the right byline finds Joao Felix arriving into the box at pace, but under pressure, the Chelsea striker can only find the side-netting.

18:17

There's more frustration for Sterling, who is caught offside on the left flank. The England forward has been a constant thorn in Newcastle's side since the break, but the crucial finishing touch has eluded him so far.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:15

OFF THE CROSSBAR! After Almiron's cute reverse pass splits the Chelsea defence, the ball breaks to young substitute Miley just outside the box. He strikes it firm and true, but it's marginally too high and flicks the top of the crossbar on its way behind! What a moment that would've been for the teenager!

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:13

NO PENALTY! The VAR agrees with the on-field officials: there's to be no spot-kick, so Chelsea will have to make do with a corner!

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:12

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:12

PENALTY FOR CHELSEA? After good work by Madueke sees Burn skinned on the right, Sterling fires in a low shot from the left side of the box. It clearly strikes Botman's arm on the way behind for a corner, but is that sufficient contact for a penalty instead? The VAR will decide!

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:09

18:08

A rare Newcastle counter-attack falters when both Wilson and Murphy make the wrong decision about where to release the ball, then Fernandez slams a 25-yard shot over the top by some distance down the other end.

After working a yard of space with a nutmeg on Guimaraes, from 20 yards out, Joao Felix fires wide of the target via a couple of deflections.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:02

Howe makes his first changes today. First, Gordon is replaced by Murphy.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

18:02

Ever more influential in this game, Sterling slips through a thicket of black-and-white shirts to reach Hall's cross from the left, but his shot flies clear of the crossbar.

Fofana stands strong near the byline, as Saint-Maximin's ball juggling almost opens up a slither of space in the Chelsea box. Newcastle have hardly threatened to score since half-time.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:58

Another contribution from the impressive Madueke sees the winger fire a cross over to the left side of the box for Hall, arriving from left-back. However, the latter's shot lacks control and zips over the crossbar from a tight angle.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:55

Newcastle are still camped on the edge of their own area, as a clearly frustrated Sterling lets fly from around 20 yards out. He had few other options, but his shot sails straight towards Dubravka, who fields it easily.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:51

Lampard is readying two more substitutes on the touchline, as he seeks to end his second stint as Chelsea boss with a win. His team have been on top since the break, but are still lacking a clear cutting edge.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:51

Substitution Ruben Ira Loftus-Cheek Carney Chibueze Chukwuemeka

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:51

Substitution Kai Lukas Havertz João Félix Sequeira

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:49

After a coming-together with Gordon in midfield, Silva drops to the turf holding his face. The game is temporarily paused, but once it becomes clear the Newcastle man will not be punished, his opponent miraculously recovers.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:48

Fernandez is dictating events in the centre of the park today, and he plays his part in releasing Madueke on the right. The young winger leaves Targett flat-footed with some sharp footwork but then slashes his shot well over from just inside the area.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:46

Chelsea continue to boss the ball in these early stages of the second half, but their visitors look comfortable enough defending deep in numbers.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:43

Schar's header from a dangerous Madueke cross towards Sterling fails to get the ball fully clear of danger, but Newcastle ultimately relieve the pressure when Anderson draws a foul from Azpilicueta.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:42

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:40

Targett slings in an inswinging corner, forcing Arrizabalaga to make what turns out to be an effective - if unconvincing - punch clear for another Newcastle corner-kick. Trippier's delivery from the second set-piece is comfortably cleared away by Madueke.

Having made a half-time change in defence, Chelsea kick off, and we are back under way at Stamford Bridge!

As Manchester United are drawing with Fulham at half-time, recording a ninth away win of the season could help Newcastle grab third place. Chelsea have gone winless through their last seven home games in all competitions - their longest such run since 1988 - so the Magpies may still fancy their chances of victory today.

17:34

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:28

Showing some rare resilience, Chelsea have gritted their teeth and earned a way back into their final game of a grim season, after withstanding a fast start from Champions League-bound Newcastle United. The gulf in confidence between the sides was quite clear in the opening stages of a fast-paced first half, but after Gordon's opener, the Blues gained themselves a foothold and in addition to pulling level also made Dubravka work on a couple of occasions. It's finely poised at the break.

17:23

HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 1-1 NEWCASTLE UNITED

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:23

After some shoddy defending by Newcastle on the right, Schar slips through into the area. However, he fails to make the most of his chance and merely fires a low cross straight at Arrizabalaga.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:22

Deep into four minutes of first-half stoppage time, Chelsea continue to push on in search of a second goal before the break. They've improved considerably as the game has worn on.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:20

17:20

SUPER STOP! Dubravka keeps his side level! The Newcastle goalkeeper leaps high to his right in order to repel Sterling's close-range strike, following a superb whipped cross by Hall from the left. On the follow-up, the Slovak stopper makes another, more routine, save from Fernandez.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:18

Once more, Almiron fails to fire in the final third, as his tame shot from the edge of Chelsea's box is plucked out of the air by a well-placed Arrizabalaga.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:17

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:16

Releasing an ambitious early shot, Madueke again drifts in from the right and drives at the Newcastle defence, though his attempt barely troubles Dubravka in the centre of Newcastle's goal.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:15

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:14

The game comes to a halt, as Guimaraes receives medical attention after dropping to the turf in midfield. He is ultimately able to make his own way to the touchline, though, so his return to action comes almost immediately.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:12

MISS! Another gilt-edged opportunity is spurned by Almiron, after a cross from the left skims Gordon's head and drops into his path on the right-hand side of the area. He leans back and skews his shot over the top, despite having the luxury of time to control his finish!

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:11

Silva makes a crucial last-gasp block, as Saint-Maximin spins his marker inside the box and lets fly with a low shot towards the bottom-left corner. Perhaps Arrizabalaga had it covered in any case, but it was typically immaculate timing by the Brazilian.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:08

Isak appears to sustain a knock after Azpilicueta leaves his leg dangling in a challenge on the touchline, which costs Chelsea a free-kick. However, Newcastle's record signing is soon able to resume his role up front.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:07

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:07

MISS! Picked out on the edge of the box by a precise pass from Gordon, Almiron's wayward low shot zips past the left-hand post! Everything opened up nicely for the Paraguayan, but he just couldn't keep his cool at the crucial moment.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:04

Not only has 42 per cent of the action been in Newcastle United's defensive third over the last 15 minutes, but Chelsea have had 74 per cent of possession during that time.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:03

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

17:02

A surging run and cutback from the right byline by Madueke causes havoc in the Newcastle defence, and though the visitors survive, Chelsea win the ball back and Azpilicueta then has another dangerous delivery cut out.

An inswinging corner from Hall lacks both pace and direction so is cut out at the near post, but Chelsea regain possession and continue to apply pressure.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

16:56

Saint-Maximin makes his way to the left byline before cutting the ball back for Isak to shoot from near the penalty spot, but Chalobah intervenes with a timely block and cuts out the Swedish striker's goalbound effort.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

16:54

While Chelsea are now working their way back into today's game in pursuit of an equaliser, Newcastle have avoided defeat in their last 16 Premier League matches when scoring the opening goal - dating back to August of last year, against Liverpool.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

16:52

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

16:52

There's no doubt that Chelsea have now recovered from their early setback, and the home side are stroking the ball about with more purpose and clarity. Newcastle have had to drop back into a more defensive shape.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

16:52

With Targett patched up and back into the fray, play resumes. Gordon has to head a dangerous cross behind for a Chelsea corner, and in the aftermath of the Blues' set-piece, Madueke sees a volley deflected over the crossbar.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

16:48

The end-to-end action is paused momentarily, as Targett receives treatment for a bloodied nose inside Newcastle's area.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

16:47

SAVE! Almost in slow motion, Dubravka drops down to his right in order to repel a heavily-deflected Silva header from close range! He scoops the ball off his goal-line, and Chelsea must make do with just a corner!

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

16:47

CLOSE! Just after Almiron tests Arrizabalaga with a shot from the left, Isak then flashes an effort narrowly wide of the right-hand post! The Magpies are in the ascendancy now, and Chelsea are reeling.

Shutting out his England colleague with a lunging block just outside the six-yard box, Trippier stops Sterling delivering a potentially dangerous low cross into the Newcastle area.

Newcastle are enjoying a sustained period of possession following a rather frantic start to the game, and given the gulf in fortunes between these clubs of late, they should be expected to take the initiative.
