Fernando Torres caps a fine debut season with the only goal of the game.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes Newcastle could cause an upset against Chelsea on Monday.
United moved within touching distance of the title after a comfortable 4-1 win over West Ham at Old Trafford.
Chelsea need at least a point against Newcastle to retain any hopes of pipping Sir Alex Ferguson's side to the Premier League title.
"The way Chelsea have been talking is that it'll be easy up there - but we know that's not the case," he said.
United are three points ahead of Chelsea with a superior goal difference but have played a game more.
They face Wigan away on the final day of the season.
Chelsea play Newcastle at St James' Park on Monday before playing Bolton at home on 11 May.
A win against Wigan next week, or any slip ups by Chelsea in their last two games, will secure a second successive title for Ferguson's side.
Ferguson also praised Cristiano Ronaldo, whose first-half double took him to 40 for the season and left him just one adrift of Alan Shearer's 31-goal Premier League record.
Birmingham boss Alex McLeish admits his side have to go for broke in their last home game against Blackburn in a bid to stay in the Premier League.
A 2-0 defeat at relegation rivals Fulham leaves Birmingham facing the drop back into the Championship.
McLeish said: "We have got nothing to lose now. We have to go for it.
"We are at home. We will have the encouragement of the whole of St Andrews, and I am sure our players will feed off all of that energy."
McLeish confessed he was disappointed with the manner of the two goals Birmingham conceded to leave Fulham with a genuine chance of survival going into their final game at Portsmouth.
He said: "I felt we had good chances in the first half and there was certainly no panic when we got to half-time goalless. I thought we were pretty comfortable.
"We shot ourselves in the foot, with the second goal especially, caught by a mistake when we were going for it. We needed to defend well, especially at set pieces, and unfortunately for us the first goal from Brian McBride was from a Fulham free-kick.
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has claimed that Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini is on the verge of signing for the Italian club.
The French midfielder's contract with the Gunners expires at the end of this season - and manager Arsene Wenger has admitted he is wary Flamini will leave.
The 24-year-old is expected to undergo a medical at the San Siro on Monday.
Despite the offer of a new five-year deal from Arsenal, Flamini's future remains unresolved and both AC Milan and Juventus are reported to have been tracking the France international.
Following Arsenal's 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday, the Gunners' last home game of the season, Wenger conceded that he was not "super-confident" Flamini would still be with the club next season.
