Chelsea
Newcastle United will look to get their revenge on Chelsea for Sunday’s Premier League loss when the two sides face each other in the EFL Cup last 16. The Magpies are not enjoying a season to remember, but they are surely capable of matching the Blues at their St. James’ Park. All Murphy, Longstaff, and Willock are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while both Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson remain in the recovery room.
Enzo Maresca’s men, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late. Chelsea are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and seeing that Newcastle are capable of finding the net at home, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, all Mykhailo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella, and Christopher Nkunku are in line to return to the starting eleven.
Highlighted Team (Chelsea):
Over the years Chelsea have established themselves as one of the dominant forces in the English Premier League. Roberto Di Matteo helped the team win their first ever Champions League trophy (2011/2012), but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate to beat Bayern Munich in the title game.
Chelsea have been playing at Stamford Bridge since 1876 and they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Blues have won seven FA Cups, five League Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups and the UEFA Europa League. Rafael Benitez was in charge of the team that faced Benfica in the 2012/2013 Europa League final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner for the Blues in the title clash.
After lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, the Blues largely struggled in the next campaign, which saw Jose Mourinho’s second spell with the club come to an end, and Antoine Conte went over to take the reigns for the 2016/2017 season.
