Chelsea and Newcastle have both taken three points from their respective Premier League matchday 17 fixtures against Sheffield United (2-0) and Fulham (3-0) on Saturday.

Chelsea returned to winning ways at Stamford Bridge against bottom club Sheffield United, winning 2-0. Cole Palmer smashed Raheem Sterling's low cross into the net in the 54th minute and he turned provider just after the hour mark as Nicolas Jackson slotted home.

It was just their third Premier League home win in a tough season for the injury-ravaged team. Newcastle claimed all three points at their St James' Park stronghold after two consecutive league defeats.

Teenager Lewis Miley found the bottom corner in the 57th minute, Miguel Almiron made it 2-0 and Dan Burn scrambled home late in the game to put the result beyond doubt.

Burnley face Everton later on Saturday, with Sean Dyche's men aiming for a fourth straight win. High-flying Aston Villa and Arsenal are both in action on Sunday, when Jurgen Klopp's leaders face under-performing Manchester United.
