↔️ Head to head

Looking over past results between these clubs going back to 06/12/2003 shows that these encounters have been pretty painful for Leeds United. They’ve not managed to come away with any wins whatsoever whereas Chelsea have been superior, running out winners in 67 per cent of those matches played.

A combined total of 18 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 5 from The Whites and 13 coming from The Blues. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.

📋 Team News: Leeds United

Patrick Bamford (Foot Injury), Tyler Roberts (Thigh muscle rupture) and Adam Forshaw (Fractured Kneecap) aren’t available for Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch.

We are thinking that The Whites will possibly line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, utilising Illan Meslier, Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk, Robin Koch, Junior Firpo, Mateusz Klich, Kalvin Phillips, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Jack Harrison and Joe Gelhardt.

📋 Team News: Chelsea

Thanks to a mainly available squad, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel to be concerned about. Ben Chilwell (Fitness) won’t be playing here.

We reckon that The Blues appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-1-2 formation with a starting lineup of Edouard Mendy, Reece James, Thiago Silva, Antonio Ruediger, Cesar Azpilicueta, Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Marcos Alonso, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Romelu Lukaku.

✨ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Leeds United certainly have the ability to put one past this Chelsea team, although just one goal may not quite be enough to avoid defeat.

We are therefore anticipating a 1-2 winning margin for Chelsea at the end of this one. Should be a good one.
