Newcastle
Newcastle are sweating over the fitness of England international Anthony Gordon, who missed the trip to Stamford Bridge on the weekend due to a groin injury sustained in training on Saturday.
With the Magpies awaiting the results of a scan on their talismanic winger, Howe's options for his forward line are limited, meaning that the likes of Will Osula and Jacob Murphy could earn starts on Wednesday night.
Only recently back from a toe injury, Isak might be rested from the start of this match despite fellow striker Callum Wilson occupying a spot in the medical room due to a back problem.
The hosts' options in their backline are reduced by the absences of centre-back Jamaal Lascelles and Kieran Trippier, whilst Sven Botman is sidelined until the New Year because of a cruciate ligament injury.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Vlachodimos; Livramento, Krafth, Schar, Kelly; Longstaff, Willock, Tonali; Murphy, Osula, Isak
Chelsea
Chelsea suffered no fresh fitness concerns during their Premier League victory on Sunday, but Maresca is set to make a host of changes to his starting side.
Many of the stars of the Blues' 4-1 win over Panathinaikos in the Conference League last week are set to return, including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Joao Felix.
The only first-team worry for Chelsea centres around out-of-favour defender Ben Chilwell, who is a doubt for the trip to St James' Park after missing training recently due to illness.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Jorgensen; Disasi, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Cucurella; Fernandez, Dewsbury-Hall; Sancho, Felix, Mudryk; Nkunku
Prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 Chelsea
