Newcastle United take on Chelsea for the second time in a week with a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals up for grabs.

Chelsea defeated Newcastle 2-1 on Sunday with Cole Palmer inspiring the Blues to victory at Stamford Bridge.

Eddie Howe’s side were left frustrated but could be boosted by the return of Anthony Gordon when the sides meet again at St James’ Park.

Newcastle reached the Carabao Cup final two seasons ago and are one of several teams in the Carabao Cup who will be desperate for a cup run.

Chelsea were runners-up last season so Enzo Maresca’s side may feel they too have some unfinished business in the competition.
