Preview: Chelsea vs Leeds United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26
The Blues will take on the Whites on matchday 26 in the Premier League.
Two English sides will lock horns in the Premier League, as Chelsea FC will host Leeds United at the iconic Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The Blues will be looking for revenge after losing to Leeds United away from home earlier this season, when Enzo Maresca was in charge.
Liam Rosenior was disappointed after the loss against Arsenal, but his team reacted well against Wolves to win the game 1-3. The English manager has done a decent job till now, but now his main aim will be to take Chelsea into the top four position.
In 25 matches, they have won 12, drawn seven and lost six matches. With 43 points, they are fifth on the board.
Considering how much the Blues have spent, this season has been disappointing so far. They can’t take Leeds United lightly at all and will have to be at their best to get the win. A lot of key matches are yet to be played, and they will have to be very well prepared for them.
Daniel Farke’s men have been decent this season, but he will expect more from his squad. Facing the Blues away from home won’t be an easy task for sure. But just like the last time, Leeds have enough quality to beat the team from London.
So far in 25 matches, they have won seven, drawn eight and lost 10 matches. With 29 points on the board, they sit in the 16th spot.
They are just six points above the relegation zone. This team can’t afford to drop points anymore as the league is entering its final stages.
