Yes, that’s correct, Chelsea are getting ready to play against Newcastle United once again, this time away from the Premier League.
The Blues beat Toon 2-1 at Stamford Bridge at the weekend in their league match, but now they must face them again in the League Cup on Wednesday evening, this time away from home.
It will likely be a different starting Xl that Enzo Maresca picks to the one that beat Eddie Howe’s side at the weekend, with the Italian liking to have two different starting lineups for league games and cup games.
So we will have to wait and see if some of the below faces are starting or playing on Wednesday night or not, but it’s likely to be the second string side again.
Chelsea train and recover
These shots below are from yesterday’s training and recovery session ahead of the game on Wednesday and as you can see, it was all smiles for Reece James, who looks super happy to be there!
The centre backs in the shot above, Tosin Adarabioyo and Benoit Badiashile, taking instructions off Maresca, may well be the pairing that starts tomorrow evening.
Other than that, it’s all systems go at Cobham once again!
