At least two Premier League giants, Chelsea and Newcastle United, have stormed into the 2023-2024 EFL Cup Quarter-finals, defying expectations of underdog upsets. While other top teams succumbed, these two sides showcased contrasting paths to success and will face each other today at Stamford Bridge in London.
Chelsea’s road was slightly longer, starting in the South Section of the Second Round, where they edged past spirited underdogs AFC Wimbledon 2-1. Despite facing a lower-league opponent, they had to fight for their victory. But they redeemed themselves in the Fourth Round, comfortably dispatching Blackburn Rovers 2-0 to book their place in the last eight.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, announced their arrival with a stunning upset. They dethroned reigning EFL champions Manchester United in a ruthless 3-0 mauling in the Fourth Round. Scoring two goals in the first half and another in the second, they sent shockwaves through the competition and solidified their reputation as giant slayers.
