THE PREDICTION
Leeds Utd may sense an opportunity to pounce on Chelsea when they are arguably at their most vulnerable this season, having been beaten by West Ham last weekend before failing to finish top of their Champions League group after only drawing 3-3 with Zenit. Following the home side’s tough trip to Russia, the admirable fitness of Leeds Utd could well see the visitors take the initiative early on here in a bid to put as much pressure as possible on a Blues side possibly struggling a little through physical and mental tiredness. It will be doubt be another tough battle for Chelsea here, but with the many leaders among their squad, writing them off would be a foolish move. Leeds Utd have kept just clean sheet away from home this season and this isn’t likely to change here against the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Mason Mount. With that in mind, provided Chelsea can re-discover that defensive stability missed against West Ham and Zenit, then the hosts should come out on top in this one.
