Out of all Carling Cup games today, this seems to be the banker, as Chelsea who made it to the 4th round (this is round 3) the last 8 out of 9 seasons and they are going against Newcastle, who were eliminated the last 3 season in this very same round.

Both teams have met a total of 5 times for the cups, 3 times for the Carling Cup and twice for the FA Cup, a total of 5 victories for Chelsea. In the past 10 years Newcastle hasn’t won a game on Stamford Bridge, but they have achieved a 0:0 2 seasons ago in 2008 for the Premier League.

To scroll the history bar even further Newcastle hasn’t won a game on this stadium in 24 years, since 1986, a run of 21 games. Chelsea also started the season great, excluding that community shield game they lost. Since then the team has been superb scoring 25 goals in 6 games.

In the last 10 meeting between these two teams Newcastle has scored just 1 goal, against 13 for Chelsea. Sounds like this game will be just a routine game for Chelsea, although I am pretty sure they will go out without many of the starters tonight, Daniel Sturridge is likely to lead the attack.

The Betting Verdict?

Chelsea to win @ 1.31 (Register at Betfair.com – 25£ Sign up Bonus): Trusting the statistic and the great shape of Chelsea, I find this game to be the banker of the day. Since the rules of the tournament are that the winner advances, I am pretty sure Ancelotti’s men will go for the victory in regular time.
