Planed subs: Kadar/Ferguson in, Enrique out. Vuckic in, Ben Arfa out. R.Taylor/Ameobi in, Lövenkrands out.

So we could be looking at something like this:

 

Turnbull

 

Ferreira - Bruma - Terry - van Aanholt

 

Ramires - McEachran

 

Yossi - Kakuta - Zhirkov

 

Sturridge

 

of course it doesn't say anything about Malouda, Kalou and Anelka being rested, so I guess that any of these could start, which would definately be the end of us. Otherwise it looks beatable and especially if Tiote plays we should be able to outmuscle them in midfield.

Enrique did not travel with the rest of the squad. I'm itk on that - don't ask  ;)

But maybe he's made his own way down to London...

 

Good its madness to risk him imo

the league cup is like the commonwealth games, fucking pointless and no-one really takes it sriously, it's the child that is begotten form a wifes weekend fling that the husband tolerates for the sake of not wanting to his wifer to leave and him to be lonely. honestly don't care if we go out and would much rather go out than any of our players suffer any sort of injury in this rotten competition.

Carlo Ancelotti believes it will be a good experience for his Chelsea youngsters to play against Newcastle United in the Carling Cup.

 

Chelsea have enjoyed a blistering start to the new season after scoring 21 goals en route to five successive Premier League wins and also blasted four past MSK Zilina in the UEFA Champions League.

 

However, Wednesday's third-round visit of Newcastle will provide Ancelotti with the opportunity to leave out several of his established names.

 

In their place will come Daniel Sturridge, Gael Kakuta, Jeffrey Bruma and Patrick van Aanholt, and Ancelotti feels the young players are ready to take their chance.

 

Quality

 

"It is a good experience for them to play this kind of game," said Ancelotti.

 

"They are involved this season more compared to last season and when there is an opportunity I want to give them the opportunity to play and show their quality.

 

"Sturridge played in the Champions League, Kakuta played two games, Bruma played in the last game against Blackpool and they will get more opportunities to play.

 

"The Academy has done a good job in the last years and now we have the young players ready to play in our squad."

 

Petr Cech, Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole, Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel will not be involved, but Ancelotti revealed captain John Terry may play half a game against Newcastle.

 

He added: "JT is fit to play and maybe can play for 45 minutes which could help Bruma, but Lampard is not available."
