Chelsea boss Ancelotti: Kakuta, Bruma will get Cup chance

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says he'll go with his youngsters tonight against Newcastle United.

Ancelotti feels there will be plenty of opportunities through the season to involve the younger players and give them much-needed exposure to first-team football.

"They were involved in the last games, 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," he confirmed.

"The Academy did a good job in the last years and now we have the young players ready to play in our squad. Obviously against Newcastle it is important to win to maintain a good atmosphere here but the most important thing is that these players can show their quality for the team."
