Chelsea vs Newcastle United Prediction: Will the home team manage to reach the semi-finals?

Prediction for the EFL Cup match which will take place on December 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The last opponent of the Aristocrats in the English League Cup was Blackburn Rovers. The team scored two unanswered goals at home against the mid-table Champions League side. Last week, Chelsea returned to the winning way in the English Premier League. In the next round, they were stronger than Sheffield United on their field with a score of 2:0.

In the previous round of the English League Cup, the team under the leadership of Eddie Howe performed at Old Trafford against Manchester United. Last season, they lost to the Red Devils in the final of this tournament. This time, they took revenge by scoring three unanswered goals. Last week, Newcastle United rehabilitated for two consecutive defeats in the EPL and the departure from European tournaments. Eddie Howe's side beat Fulham 3:0 in the 17th round of the Premier League.

For Newcastle United, the English League Cup in the current campaign can be considered quite an important tournament. The team had a poor first round in the EPL; in the Champions League, they finished last in the group and failed to secure a place at least in the Europa League play-offs. Let's not forget that Eddie Howe's team reached the final of the League Cup in the previous campaign, where they lost to MU. We expect a very tough match for the Aristocrats. The last five fixtures at Stamford Bridge have been draws, but we believe that this trend will be broken after the next game. We don't rule out a Newcastle win with a top score.
