Arguments
Newcastle United: Eddie Howe is trying to get his team into shape, but this is a tough proposition considering their performance in the league. He will want to give the players a head start to avenge the previous loss to Chelsea, but there are already so many defenders sick from the surprise that some rotation would be necessary.
Newcastle United Predicted XI: Nick Pope: Lewis Corridor, Dan Burn, Fabian Schar, Tino Lovramento, Jolelinton Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock, Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak, Miguel Almiron
Chelsea: Competitions like this are when the Chelsea team’s intensity comes in handy. Having the ability to rotate virtually every position over the weekend and now have a strong team is a luxury that teams don’t have. Enzo Maresca has cleverly pushed the right buttons in the right week and that is where he will be able to ensure the team progresses in any further cup competition.
Chelsea Predicted XI: Robert Sánchez, Renato Veiga, Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Cowill, Malo Gusto, Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo, Jadon Sancho, Cole Palmer, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku
Prediction
Chelsea will achieve their second victory over the Magpies in less than a year, but will change venue this week. Select: Newcastle 1, Chelsea
