Newcastle have chance for instant revenge when they host Chelsea in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer scored as Enzo Maresca’s side beat the Magpies 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday, leaving Eddie Howe’s side languishing in 12th place in the table.

Chelsea are competing well at home and abroad this season and reached the final of this competition last season under Mauricio Pochettino, although they needed penalties to sink Newcastle in the quarter-final.

This is another good reason for Eddie Howe’s men to want revenge.

Newcastle vs Chelsea line-ups, predicted starting 11, team news

Anthony GordonIt is The absence was keenly felt this weekend as the England winger sat out at Stamford Bridge due to a groin injury sustained in training.

“He’s had a scan, we hope the injury is not serious, let’s see how he is today,” Howe said in the pre-match press conference. “There is a chance he (plays this week) but we have to make the right decision.”

Will Osula And Jacob Murphy are ready to step in if Gordon fails. Teenage midfielder Lewis Miley is getting closer to a return after seven months out due to a foot injury.

Callum Wilson (back), Jamaal Lascelles (LCA), Kieran Trippier (veal) and Sven Botman (ACL) all remain on the sidelines.

Maresca has reshuffled its largely squad in UEFA Conference League matches this season and a similar line-up is expected here, with players like João Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk And Christophe Nkunku likely to enjoy another chance to impress in attack.

Kiernan Dewsbury Hall And Enzo Fernández should be associated with the midfielder as Maresca continues to enjoy a largely clean bill of health.

Jadon Sancho was an unused substitute in the last two matches and will likely play here as he appears to have slipped below Pedro Neto in the hierarchy of attackers.

Chelsea predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Jorgensen (GK) — Disasi, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Cucurella — Fernandez, Dewsbury-Hall — Sancho, Felix, Mudryk — Nkunku
