Two Carabao Cup semi-finalists lock horns on Saturday lunchtime as Chelsea make the long journey to Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Chelsea’s 3–1 victory over third tier Cardiff City on Tuesday was followed by Newcastle’s stoppage-time victory over Fulham the following day as both sides booked their spot in the last four of the Carabao Cup. They avoided a meeting in the semis, although that means Saturday’s battle could well be a dress rehearsal for the showpiece event at Wembley.

Eight places separate the teams heading into the weekend, but a gap of just six points highlights how congested the current standings are in the Premier League. One victory can make the world of difference, with Chelsea aiming to secure their top four spot heading into Christmas as Newcastle seek to enter the top half.

Here is how to watch a tantalising battle on Tyneside.
