The 4th round of the FA Cup is about to begin, the League Cup semi-finals Chelsea thrilling defeat Arsenal, the league is also unbeaten in the first place, the Champions League 1/8 final will also face the strong Barcelona, so for Chelsea, the FA Cup is a game that can be given up for Chelsea now.

However, in the FA Cup third round against Championship side Norwich, Chelsea not only played a replay against the opponent, but also eliminated them on penalties, this time at home to Benitez's Newcastle United, and the most important thing for Chelsea is to ensure that they are eliminated at home.

Chelsea are on a winning streak at home to Newcastle, with Chelsea's last home defeat coming back to 2012 when two goals from Papis Cisse secured the Magpies to victory over Chelsea.

Since then, Chelsea have won all five times they have faced Newcastle at home and scored 15 goals, and the last two home games against Newcastle have scored eight goals and conceded only two, so it can be said that Chelsea maintain a huge advantage over Newcastle in terms of momentum and psychology, and the last time the two teams met in the FA Cup was back in March 2006, when Chelsea eliminated Newcastle 1-0 at home.

Chelsea were almost eliminated from the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Arsenal in midweek, and with starting Willian also out injured, Moses will certainly miss the weekend's game against Newcastle, while Chelsea's N'Golo Kante and Thibaut Courtois are also injured and it is unknown whether Jones will play.

Regarding the team's injury problems, Kodic said helplessly: "Kante and Courtois will not play in this game, Courtois was kicked to the ankle, Jones has a muscle problem, Cesc Fabregas has also returned to training, tomorrow I will check their fitness and competitive condition, if they can both play, it will be good news for us."

Every competition is very important for us and we want to get to the Carabao Cup final and we don't give up and the FA Cup is a very difficult competition and we will try to get to the next round but the opponent will definitely think the same way.

…………………………

The game started, the starting line-ups of both sides, Chelsea: Caballero; Ampadu, Luis, Cahill; Drinkwater, Bakayoko, Zampacosta, Alonso; Pedro, Ross Barkley, Eden Hazard, and Jones will not start yet, but this time not in the stands, but on the bench.

Newcastle line-up: Darlow; Mbemba, Ruscells, Clark, Haidara; Shervey, Manquillo, Rich, Hayden; Sevi, Gail

Chelsea lost at home to Arsenal in the FA Cup in March 2003 and have since been unbeaten in the FA Cup at home to Premier League opponents, with eight wins and two draws in 10 appearances, so it is worth looking forward to seeing if Chelsea's unbeaten record at home to Premier League opponents for 15 years will continue.

Referee Flender blew the whistle for the game, and it seemed that Chelsea's attack was clearly stronger than the last game against Arsenal, perhaps because they were playing at home, or maybe Eden Hazard was now in the starting line-up, and Chelsea did a good job in the first 20 minutes after the opening.

This situation has made the Chelsea fans excited, they see the hope of winning, the cheers are cheering the players, the attack is gradually paying off, Kodic also feels that the game is expected to win, just now his own side hit the crossbar, continue like this, Chelsea in the fourth line have good results on all fronts.

After the 28th minute, Chelsea suddenly stepped up their attack, Drinkwall's fast break tore through Newcastle's defence, and the ball was passed to Pedro in front of him under the wrap of two defenders, although Pedro did not shoot from the angle, his back-heel pass was knocked back to Hazard, who met the incoming ball with a powerful shot!

Newcastle goalkeeper Darlow didn't have time to react, his attention had just shifted from Pedro's side, and then he watched the ball fly over, and his consciousness wanted to make a save, but his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts.

Chelsea took the lead and after the goal, Eden Hazard raced to the sidelines and made his own celebrations at the cameras, prompting a group of nymphomaniac female fans on the sidelines to scream.

'Eden Hazard, Hazard......' Chelsea fans frantically chanted Hazard's name.

Benist naturally won't accept the fate of losing away from home, and they also started a wave of attacks after the restart, but Newcastle did not dare to press on all the lines due to Chelsea's strong attacking power, and once the two full-backs inserted the assist, the two midfielders naturally retreated to fill in the position, so as not to be counterattacked by Chelsea again.

In the 43rd minute, Bakayoko's lateral cut inside won a direct free-kick opportunity, his own free-kick crossed the wall, but was blocked by the post, Hazard in the box jumped out like an assassin, and poked the ball into the goal with his outstretched foot.

Two goals ahead! Kodic excitedly hugged Osilai to celebrate, and the players were also happy in the stadium, and now it seems that there is basically no suspense to win the opponent.

After that, the suspense of the game was not completely absent, and Newcastle's attack immediately improved a little, but unfortunately their striker's accuracy was not enough, and two good chances were squandered extravagantly, provoking Benist to roar on the sidelines, but this could not change his fate, and at the end of the first half, Chelsea returned to the dressing room after 2-0 defeat.

After a 15-minute break, the game continued, and in the 80th minute, a Newcastle attack was blocked, Christensen cleared the ball with a big foot, and after a few passes in midfield, the ball reached Klindwater, who had no defenders nearby, and took the ball smoothly and rushed forward.

When it was not far from the penalty area, three defenders from different angles came over, and Drinkwalker got up with a big foot and sent the ball directly to the other end of the pitch for a wide transfer.

Pedro who rushed to the ball directly after receiving the ball, Hayden did not grab the first point, but under his interference, the opposing defender's clearance ball was not able to go far, Drinkwater passed the ball and ran towards the right front, increasing the strength of the front, but saw the football flying in front of him, and did not wait for the football to land, and directly put on a posture of shooting angrily.

Shervay came out to block the spot, and he habitually turned around to dodge, but Clintwater's kick turned into a soft slam and shook off the defender before he entered the box.

Mbemba vaguely felt bad when he saw Xavier pounce on it, so he followed closely, and when he saw Drinkwater wipe into the penalty area, he immediately did not hesitate, a flying tackle, and went directly to the football in front of him.

But Drinkwater's feet were quicker and Mbemba was empty, but he even took the ball and Drinkwater fell to the ground.

"Penalty!"

Although Newcastle was already two goals down, Flender did not mean to give them face at all, the gesture was very firm, and the Newcastle players stepped forward to explain, but Flender's decision was very firm.
