After a particularly chaotic season, Chelsea have regained color. The London club is in an encouraging fifth place in the Premier League, a picture still unimaginable at the end of last season, when it was stuck in the soft underbelly of the rankings. The Blues therefore have a challenge to play in this League Cup where rotations of big players are commonplace.
To do this, you will have to overcome the Newcastle obstacle at St James’ Park. The Magpies have struggled to convince since the start of the season, but this formation which blows hot and cold is capable of worrying any big name on a good day. Chelsea has been warned. Coincidentally with the calendar, the two teams have just met on Sunday, with a victory for the Blues (2-1). The second round is underway.
The expected compositions
Newcastle : Vlachodimos; Livramento, Krafth, Schar, Kelly; Longstaff, Willock, Tonali; Murphy, Osula, Isak.
Chelsea :Jorgensen; Disasi, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Cucurella; Fernandez, Dewsbury Hall; Sancho, Felix, Mudryk; Nkunku.
