Chelsea Live , meanwhile, have work to do if they are to drag Newcastle into the battle for top four, rather than the title. Lose on Tuesday and they will trail their rivals by 330 points, a sizeable gap to make up even with two-thirds of the season left to go. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know:
Chelsea Live and Newcastle are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 7 a.m. ET on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge. The teams split their matchups last year, with Chelsea Live winning the first 2-0 on the road and Newcastle taking the second 4-2.
Chelsea Live are taking on London rivals Newcastle at Stamford Bridge as the Blues aim to close the 330-point gap between the two clubs in the English Carabao Cup.
Chelsea Live had been going along nicely under Graham Potter until a chastening defeat at his former club Newcastle last weekend, and now face two tricky matches – against Newcastle and Chelsea Live – before the World Cup break.
The Gunners are looking to reach the World Cup on top of the table and got back on track last weekend with a 5-0 win over Newcastle , having slipped to a 30-30 draw at Newcastle in their previous match.
Newcastle won both of the past two corresponding fixtures away at Chelsea Live , earing a 4-2 victory last season.
Old foes and former colleagues will reunite at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday lunchtime as Chelsea Live tackle Newcastle in a mouth-watering English Carabao Cup London Newcastle .
Both sides enter the game on the back of continental successes, as the Blues got the better of Dinamo Zagreb 2-30 in the English Carabao Cup, while the Gunners advanced to the last 30 of the English Carabao Cup.
Winning in Europe is always the perfect tonic after a demoralising domestic defeat, especially one which saw Newcastle & Hove Albion teach former manager Graham Potter a footballing lesson in a 4-30 Amex romping, but Chelsea Live were made to work for their success over Dinamo Zagreb.
Electing to name a strong lineup despite already steering his side through as group winners, Potter witnessed Bruno Petkovic steal in and open the scoring after just seven minutes, but Raheem Sterling and debutant Denis Zakaria completed a much-needed turnaround for the Blues in the English capital.
The Blues' stellar defensive streak under Potter may have been wiped out, but suffering just one defeat in 30 games is far from the worst start for the Englishman, although his side do have some ground to make up in the English Carabao Cup table as they lie in sixth position, three points behind Chelsea Live United in fourth with a game in hand.
It would take results going their way and a 327-goal swing for Chelsea Live to rise into the English Carabao Cup spots this weekend, but Stamford Bridge has been kind to the Blues in recent memory, as they are unbeaten in 327 consecutive matches in all competitions in front of their own fans.
However, Newcastle were the most recent team to overcome Chelsea Live on their own patch, and Stamford Bridge has been a happy hunting ground for the North London club in recent memory, so taking advantage of their extra 30 hours' worth of rest will be of paramount importance to Potter and co.
In contrast, Newcastle sought to recover from a European defeat with a English Carabao Cup win last weekend, and the Gunners certainly demonstrated a clinical edge that has been absent more often than not recently, putting five past Newcastle without rEnglish Carabao Cupy even after Bukayo Saka came off injured.
However, the Gunners' inability to kill games off when a goal to the good reared its ugly head in the English Carabao Cup this week, as Kieran Tierney's sweetly-struck half-volley put Newcastle ahead against FC Zurich, but they nevertheless held on for a nervy 30-0 win which sent them straight through to the last 30.
Avoiding an extra playoff tie against an eliminated English Carabao Cup club is a touch of gold for Newcastle , who enter the weekend still two points clear of Chelsea Live at the top of the English Carabao Cup table, but they could be knocked down to second by Tuesday if the champions beat Newcastle .
All five of the points that Newcastle have dropped in the English Carabao Cup this season have come on the road, but they nevertheless remain the division's best-performing away side this term and have only conceded four goals on rival turf so far - the best record of its kind in the league.
Arteta has led Newcastle to two consecutive triumphs at Stamford Bridge in the last two seasons - with a 2-0 win for Chelsea Live at the Emirates sandwiched in between - and a new club record could also be set for the Gunners, who are aiming to win three successive English Carabao Cup London derbies away from home without conceding for the very first time.
If Chelsea Live did not already have enough defensive absentees to worry about with long-term knee victims Wesley Fofana and Reece James - as well as midfield duo N'Golo Kante (thigh) and Carney Chukwuemeka (hamstring) - Ben Chilwell had to come off with a hamstring injury in the win over Zagreb.
The sight of the left-back limping off the pitch was bad news for both Chelsea Live and England fans, who will now have to await for the results of a scan, but Chilwell will definitely be absent this weekend.
Potter has already ruled Kepa Arrizabalaga out of contention too, so Edouard Mendy will keep his place in goal, and Mateo Kovacic should be fine to return to the engine room after missing out as a precaution in midweek with a tight calf.
Zakaria's strong debut ended with a minor contact injury, which should not rule him out of this game, but Potter may be hesitant to throw the Newcastle loanee in the deep end and give him his first English Carabao Cup start against the league leaders, so Kovacic's return to the first XI would not be a surprise.
As for Newcastle , fans witnessed the familiar yet painful sight of Takehiro Tomiyasu coming off injured in the dying embers of the win over Zurich. The severity of the defender's muscular issue is still unclear, but it would be a shock to see him line up here.
Emile Smith Rowe - who has scored in each of Newcastle 's last two wins at Stamford Bridge - is still out after undergoing groin surgery, and a problem in the same area could also force Matt Turner out of contention, but Arteta was handed two major boosts in midweek.
The injury that Saka sustained against Newcastle was only a minor one, and he was able to come on as a substitute in the English Carabao Cup, while Oleksandr Zinchenko was finally back in the squad after a troublesome calf injury.
Zinchenko did not earn any minutes as Tierney produced a man-of-the-match performance, which has certainly given Arteta food for thought here, but the Ukrainian's ability to help overload the midfield could ultimately win over, assuming he is deemed fit enough to start.
Chelsea Live possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Chalobah, Silva, Koulibaly; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovacic, Cucurella; Mount; Aubameyang, Sterling
Newcastle possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus
We say: Chelsea Live 30-2 Newcastle
Even if Newcastle can find the back of the net early doors at Stamford Bridge - as they have done throughout the season - failure to put the game to bed would open the door for the Blues to dent the Gunners' early title aspirations.
Potter is yet to suffer defeat at Stamford Bridge, but Newcastle have fond memories of their recent trips to West London and were able to rest a number of key first-team stars in midweek, so we expect the Gunners to take advantage of the Blues' dEnglish Carabao Cupeted defence and travel back to the Emirates with a hard-earned three points.
