Midfielder Cole Palmer, who has recorded six goals and three assists in 14 EPL games with Chelsea, has notched a pair of assists in two EFL Cup contests.
The expert also is aware that Newcastle United posted a clean sheet in each of their first two matches in the competition, edging Manchester City 1-0 in the third round before blanking Man United.

Newcastle had little difficulty in their EPL meeting with the Blues late last month as they registered a 4-1 victory at home.
