Newcastle United vs Chelsea LIVE: League Cup latest score, goals and updates from fixture

St. James’ Park, home of Newcastle United Football Club - (Getty Images)

Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Chelsea in the EFL cup.

Liverpool are the reigning champions of the competition following an extra time victory over Chelsea at Wembley last term, Virgil van Dijk scoring the decisive goal to secure a record-extending tenth win of this domestic cup for the Reds.

While all 72 clubs from the football league enter from the first round, Premier League teams enter at the second or third round stage, the latter for clubs competing in Europe this season. Last year, Middlesbrough were the team from outside the top flight to go furthest in the competition, reaching the semi-finals.
