This weekend in the Premier League, Newcastle play Chelsea.

Ahead of the match at St. James' Park, we take a look at how the sides' players Daryl Janmaat and Branislav Ivanovic compare.

Newcastle stand in the way of Chelsea’s pursuit of a new club record of 24 matches unbeaten in all competitions, though the Blues’ record on Tyneside offers only slight hope.

Jose Mourinho’s side have only won three of their last ten Premier League fixtures at St James’ Park, though they arrive in breathtaking form this season.

Chelsea's 295-mile journey to Newcastle offers one of their sternest away trips of this campaign, so if they pass Saturday’s test, Mourinho’s side may well be on their way to an invincible season.
