Chelsea v Newcastle United: The match officials have been confirmed for the Carabao Cup quarter-final at Stamford Bridge.
The Carabao Cup match officials for Chelsea vs. Newcastle United on Tuesday evening (8pm kick-off) at Stamford Bridge have been confirmed.
The cup quarter-final match in West London will be officiated by Jarred Gillett. Gillett’s previous match officiating Newcastle was the 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Newcastle in the final match of the 2022-23 Premier League season in May at Stamford Bridge.
Anthony Gordon put the Magpies ahead before a Kieran Trippier own goal leveled the game. Newcastle were unbeaten in all four Premier League matches Gillett officiated last season.
He was also in charge of the 3-3 tie with Manchester City, the 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, and the 3-0 triumph against Leicester City. Gillett will be assisted by Darren Cann and James Mainwaring, with fourth official Darren England. Unlike in the Premier League, no video assistance referee will be used for this round of Carabao Cup matches. VAR is only used in the competition after the semi-final stage.
Newcastle benefited from a VAR judgment in the semi-final first-leg win at Southampton last season, when Adam Armstrong had a goal ruled out due to a check. The Magpies went on to win the tie 3-1 on aggregate, advancing to the final.
Manchester United defeated Eddie Howe’s side 2-0 in the final at Wembley Stadium. They did, however, exact some retaliation last month, knocking The Red Devils out of this season’s competition with a 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
Newcastle advanced to the quarter-finals by defeating Manchester City and Manchester United.
