    There is no doubt Newcastle United have had to do it the hard way in the 2023 Carabao Cup after drawing Chelsea in the final eight of the competition.

    Newcastle will travel to Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup after knocking out both Manchester clubs already.

    Eddie Howe’s side followed up their victory over City with a 3-0 win over United at Old Trafford following goals from Miguel Almiron, Lewis Hall and Joe Willock.

    The Magpies will now face five-time winners Chelsea, who comfortably beat Championship Blackburn thanks to strikes from Benoit Badiashile and Raheem Sterling, at Stamford Bridge.

    West Ham’s reward for a 3-1 victory over Arsenal was a trip to Anfield to take on a Liverpool side who edged out Bournemouth 2-1 thanks to Darwin Nunez’s superb winner, while Everton will play Fulham.

    There will be a team from the English Football League in the semi-finals with League One Port Vale hosting Championship Middlesbrough.
