THE LOWDOWN
LEEDS UTD
- Leeds Utd’s fears of relegation are now officially through the roof following a 2-1 defeat away against Arsenal which leaves them in 18th-place due to an inferior goal difference to Burnley
- A straight red card for Luke Ayling at Emirates Stadium will rule him out for the rest of the season through suspension, adding to an already large absentee list due to injury.
CHELSEA
- Chelsea’s latest slip-up came at Stamford Bridge at the weekend, as they threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 against Wolves and this form is hardly ideal preparation ahead of this Saturday’s FA Cup final.
- Thomas Tuchel could well rotate his side once again, but could well be without midfielders N’Golo Kante and Jorginho, whilst both Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi are definitely out.
THE TEAM NEWS
LEEDS UTD
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Meslier; Struijk, Cooper, Llorente, Firpo; Koch, Phillips; Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison; James
UNAVAILABLE: Ayling (Suspended), Dallas (Injured), Forshaw (Injured), Summerville (Injured), Roberts (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Bamford (Injured), Cooper (Injured)
CHELSEA
PREDICTED XI (3-4-1-2): Mendy; Chalobah, Christensen, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Kovacic, Niguez; Mount; Ziyech, Lukaku
UNAVAILABLE: Chilwell (Injured), Hudson-Odoi (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Jorginho (Injured), Kante (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Things may be looking bleak for Leeds Utd at the moment, but this match represents a realistic chance for them to gain points despite Chelsea’s lofty position in the Premier League. The Blues are out of form and have bigger fish to fry than the outcome here, specifically the outcome in this coming weekend’s FA Cup final. No Chelsea player will want to pick up any sort of injury and this could lead to them struggling against a Leeds team expected to be full of blood and thunder in what will be a footballing cauldron at Elland Road. Chelsea have already succumbed to such an environment recently, losing 1-0 away at Everton and against another team fighting for their lives, the smart play here is backing Leeds to avoid defeat by gaining either a draw or win via the double chance market.
Tip: LEEDS UTD WIN/DRAW DOUBLE CHANCE
