Quite apart from creating the tantalising possibility of securing a long-craved piece of silverware and, with it, a back door route into Europe, this cup run is helping camouflage the off-stage tensions that have contributed to Newcastle's latterly disappointing Premier League form.
It helped that Chelsea's radically revamped team suggested that Enzo Maresca was not exactly prioritising this competition.
It seemed somehow significant that he left Cole Palmer on the bench throughout while Nicolas Jackson did not even travel to the north east. Perhaps equally tellingly at the final whistle, Palmer, who had repeatedly warmed up, appeared to be asking Maresca's coaching staff why he had not been sent on to attempt to eclipse Alexander Isak and co.
While Howe opted for gentle rotation, making five alterations to the XI that started last Sunday's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge, Maresca changed Chelsea's entire lineup. Perhaps such wholesale, eleven-man churn was responsible for the early moment of kamikaze-style visiting defensive chaos that prefaced Isak swinging in an inviting cross and Joelinton spurning a close-range sitter after miscuing an attempted right-foot shot.
