Newcastle was able to defeat a weak team like Ipswich 3-0. Newcastle is currently on the third position and that has shifted Chelsea down to 5th position. One thing with football is that, when you are on your peak form, you hardly lose matches and Newcastle is in form at the right time of the season.
I don't understand the energy Newcastle has been pulling some weeks now but those guys have a mission to pass Arsenal, if Arsenal mess up and they win their next match, that's all for them because their automatic qualification for Champions League next season is already secure with one more win from their match unless they are not ready.
I don't know what will be th faith of Nottingham Forest and Chelsea but Chelsea is losing the momentum everytime and I'm not sure again if they can get in there with the rest for top 4. This is what you get when you say you are not there for competition, they refused to claim what they had been the first place some moths ago.
