Newcastle United Preview & Form

The Magpies suffered a painful 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea last weekend, dropping them 12th in the league table.

Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea comes into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in great form, having returned to winning ways in their last two matches against Panathinaikos and Newcastle United. Despite early criticism from fans and Pundit, the Blues look like a great force to reckon with, as they are currently fifth in the Premier League points table with 17 points in nine games. Enzo Maresca’s men, in their last EFL Cup match, cruised to a 5-0 win over Barrow AFC, with Christopher Nkunku scoring a hatrick in the match.
