Newcastle vs Chelsea LIVE: Latest score and updates as the hosts strike twice in quick succession

“They deserve more points” – Maresca on the game against Newcastle in the Premier League

Newcastle United and Chelsea renew hostilities in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening, just days after clashing in the Premier League. The fourth round takes place at St James' Park as the Blues emerged 2-1 winners on home soil in the top flight, with Cole Palmer again scoring for his side.

Eddie Howe's Magpies are again struggling with injuries and inconsistencies among key players and sit 12th in the league table with three wins, three draws and three defeats so far – while Chelsea under Enzo Maresca are in fifth place after five wins from nine.

However, they are also far more likely to make more name changes this evening, with players such as Mykhailo Mudryk, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Christopher Nkunku all hoping for game time and not currently in Maresca's league squad. With a place in the quarter-finals at stake, both teams will definitely give their all to achieve victory.

GOAL! NEWCASTLE – Chelsea 2-0 (own goal by Axel Disasi, 26th minute)

Another soft, soft goal for Chelsea in a nightmarish three minutes! First, they leave Alexander Isak all alone after a free kick, switch off and let the striker stroll down the left side. His deflected cross was supposed to be cleared, but Joe Willock got the ball with his head and Axel Disasi couldn't clear his foot and shot into his own net.

GOAL! NEWCASTLE 1-0 Chelsea (Alexander Isak, 23 minutes)

Alexander Isak scores against Chelsea for the second time in four days!

It's a terrible moment for the visitors. They let the ball pass around on the edge of the penalty area without the necessary care and attention, Renato Veiga receives a hospital pass. Joelinton pushes him and lets the ball spin freely, allowing Sandro Tonali to slide in and set up his Swedish striker. Isak finds the bottom corner with typical aplomb.

Newcastle – Chelsea 0-0, 21 minutes

Lively play from Joao Felix, switching in and out to outwit two retreating defenders and finally place a shot between them. There's too much momentum in the effort, but Felix's sparkling feet look in good condition.

And now follows Sean Longstaff Schar, whose name has spiraled out of control as he rattles Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The midfielder is now 27 years old – not the card he would have wanted.

Newcastle – Chelsea 0-0, 16 minutes

A good fight is brewing on this site between Joelinton and Axel Disasi, two big and strong personalities who have some entertaining duels at the start.

On the other hand, Fabian Schar is a little late as Christopher Nkunku raged while the Chelsea striker quickly advanced on the right. In the book goes the captain of Newcastle.

It looks like Joao Felix will play as Chelsea's number ten, just behind Christopher Nkunku, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Mudryk providing width on either side. Joelinton is one of Newcastle's front three players and not in the midfield role we have seen him in more often over the last few seasons.

Newcastle – Chelsea 0-0, 10 minutes

Enzo Fernandez's attempt to switch play goes wrong, the thrown pass is misplaced and misjudged, leaving Mykhailo Mudryk far too much to do.

Newcastle – Chelsea 0-0, 8 minutes

Almost a start! Renato Veiga passes to Marc Cucurella's beautiful cut-back, and only Sandro Tonali's protruding leg prevents the Chelsea midfielder from hitting the net. Even with a leg kick from the Italian it's not far away, Nick Pope is well beaten.

Jorgensen was more authoritative and made a strong decision to come out and deny Anthony Gordon the chance to use his pace to gain a lead over the top.

Mykhailo Mudryk gently releases the ball in his first moment of the game.

Newcastle – Chelsea 0-0, 5 minutes

A slightly nervous moment for Filip Jorgensen as the Chelsea goalkeeper went a long way to win Lewis Hall's free kick but failed to concede it cleanly. Joelinton can't quite shoot the loose ball into the goal.
