With Chelsea toiling in mid-table in the Premier League, the Carabao Cup could be the Blues' best chance of playing European football next season – but this will be their toughest test so far. Victories against AFC Wimbledon, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Blackburn Rovers, all at Stamford Bridge, have led Mauricio Pochettino's work-in-progress side to this point, but scoring goals remains a challenge for them. Can they make home advantage count again here?
Newcastle were beaten finalists in the competition last year but they were given the opportunity to avenge that defeat in the previous round when they eliminated holders Man Utd at Old Trafford. That 3-0 win gave Eddie Howe's side the clean sweep in Manchester in this season's Carabao Cup, having beaten Man City in the third round back in September. Another win here to reach the semis and nobody will be able to accuse the Magpies of getting an easy run to the latter stages.
Here's how the teams line up:
Chelsea: Petrovic (GK); Disasi, Thiago Silva, Badishile, Colwill; Caicedo, Fernandez, Gallagher; Palmer, Sterling, Jackson.
Newcastle: Dubravka (GK); Krafth, Lascelles, Botman, Livramento; Guimarães, Longstaff, Miley; Almiron, Gordon, Wilson.

As you'll read below, the Chelsea vs Newcastle live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual streaming service?

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ESPN+ or another service to watch the game.
