Newcastle vs Chelsea team news
Anthony Gordon was ruled out of the weekend game with a groin injury and is a doubt for this game too. Eddie Howe will also be without Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson and long-term absentees Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles.
Chelsea are in rude health and Enzo Maresca should resort to his 'B' team with his cup game, meaning the likes of Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Benoit Badiashile should all get the nod to start.
Newcastle vs Chelsea prediction
Chelsea looked good value for their win over Newcastle in the Premier League at the weekend and should follow it up with more of the same three days later, albeit after a trip up north and with a few changes to the line-up.
Chelsea to win, 2-1.
