Football. ua presents a preview of the match in the English League Cup, which will complete the 30th round and start at 21:45.

As part of the 1/8 finals of the English League Cup 2024/25, we are looking at the competition between Newcastle United and Chelsea, which will take place at St. James's Park.

NEWCASTLE UNITED - CHELSIA WEDNESDAY, 30 NIGHT, 21:45. ST JAMES PARK, NEWCASTLE. PRINCIPAL ARBITRATOR – CHRIS CAVANAUGH. LIVE BROADCAST ON SETANTA SPORTS Last week we were already watching the competition of these teams in the English Premier League, and now we are almost certain to have our own remake, and also in the English League Cup. Then, I deservedly won the victory over Chelsea with a 2:1 score, and from that moment on, the center of the center of both teams did not change much - there will be no significant changes in the warehouses, so that the rotation will change.

At the end of the day, there is little that can be said about Newcastle in a positive way, and in the remaining five matches of the current tournaments, the Magpies gained at least one victory. This victory also came to the League Cup, as part of which Eddie Gau's team beat AFC Wimbledon. The remaining failures of Newcastle United can be attributed to a very difficult calendar, about the 12th season in the Premier League - they are far from what patients and Saudi investors are paying for. The formation of current information will require changes, although the main problem of the “magpies” is no longer unchanged since last season - the supply for substitutes is very modest, which does not allow the club to fight for high place.

Chelsea, for their part, has absolutely no problems with the equal rotation of the warehouse, and the head coach of the London team, Enzo Maresca, before the skin match, feels a headache when choosing a starting 11. There is no doubt that today’s stock of “pensioners” is significantly increasing in terms of what they spent per week, which means that with great confidence it is possible to our Mikhail Mudrik's Shikh Khvilin.

In the Premier League at this stage of the season, Chelsea are generally doing well - the Londoners are among the leaders in the standings, currently occupying the fifth place. Of course, we are still not talking about our potential championship, as Maresca himself said, but progress with the arrival of the straightforward Italian is obvious. And since the competition in the championship is simply intense, the small number of players allows Chelsea to aim for the “intermediate” trophy, which can be called the Carabao Cup.

According to the bookmakers, it is not easy to determine the favorite of the upcoming match. Thus, the victory of Newcastle United is predicted by a coefficient of 2.63, while the potential success of Chelsea is assessed by a coefficient of 2.62. The likelihood of a draw result is represented by a coefficient of 3.60.
