For the second time in four days, Chelsea and Newcastle will collide on the domestic soccer schedule.
Blues gained an important league win over the Magpies at Stamford Bridge, but Eddie Howe’s side will have the ideal opportunity to bounce back when they welcome Chelsea to St. James’ Park in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
The pressure is mounting on the hosts, as their winless sequence now stands at three across all competitions. Meanwhile, Newcastle have netted just three goals across their last four in all competitions.
Odds
Newcastle will be narrowly preferred in the betting to gain revenge on Chelsea this week. An away win for the Blues is competitively priced at +150.

That trend continued on Sunday after Chelsea secured a 2-1 success at Stamford Bridge. However, Newcastle have won each of their last two home matches against the Blues.
