Chelsea face Newcastle United for the second time in a week on Wednesday in the EFL Cup round of 16.
The Blues beat Newcastle at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Sunday and now travel to St. James’ Park to play them again.
Enzo Maresca’s side thrashed Barrow 5-0 in the previous round while their opposition overcame fellow League Two team AFC Wimbledon 1-0 to set up this exciting clash.

Newcastle vs Chelsea Team News
Enzo Maresca seems to have one team for the Premier League and another for the cup competitions at the moment.
So, the Italian could simply pick the same starting lineup as the 4-1 UEFA Conference League victory over Panathinaikos last week.
- Filip Jorgensen; Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, Renato Veiga, Marc Cucurella; Enzo Fernandez, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall; Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk; Christopher Nkunku.
But Pedro Neto also started against Newcastle on Sunday so he is likely to be replaced by Jadon Sancho in the eleven.
Meanwhile, Tosin Adarabioyo, who chose to sign for the Blues over Newcastle in the summer, could return to the heart of the defence.
Malo Gusto might start at right back as he was taken off with 15 minutes to go against the Magpies.
