Kick-off: 7:45pm, Wednesday 30th October 2024

A mere three days on from their Stamford Bridge showdown, Chelsea face Newcastle United at St James’ Park in the last sixteen of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.

Cause for optimism

Newcastle United finished a somewhat disappointing seventh in the Premier League last season and their aim this season is to make a push for the Champions League berths without the added distraction of European competition, however it’s fair to say that this mission has started very slowly. A four-game unbeaten run at the start of the campaign provided Magpies’ supporters with cause for optimism but Newcastle are now on a five-game winless run in the Premier League and their disappointing form was worsened with a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.

Penalty shoot-out win

Focusing on their Carabao Cup campaign, Eddie Howe’s men got their account started with a penalty shoot-out victory over Nottingham Forest and followed this with a narrow 1-0 win over League Two side AFC Wimbledon at St James’ Park early this month, a Fabian Schar penalty late in the first half enough to separate the two sides.

Wealth of riches

Chelsea’s win over Newcastle United on Sunday lifted the side up to fifth position in the Premier League table and owing to their European adventures, the Blues have only had to navigate one round of Carabao Cup fixtures in order to make it through to the last sixteen of the competition, this coming in the form of a win over League Two side Barrow. Chelsea’s last League Cup triumph came in 2014/15 when they beat city rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley and given that they boast a wealth of riches in attacking areas, we envisage the West London outfit getting the better of the Magpies for the second time in four days on Wednesday evening.

Back Chelsea to win and both teams to score at best odds of 7/2
