Chelsea will be looking to maintain their top-four push in the Premier League when they travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Saturday lunchtime.
Thomas Tuchel has done a remarkable job of turning things around in west London, taking the Blues from eighth up to fourth thanks to six wins and no losses from his nine games in charge.
Leeds United vs Chelsea Latest Odds
Only runaway leaders Manchester City have taken more points than Chelsea since Tuchel took over and bet365 offer 7/10 (1.70) that he adds another three to his tally in West Yorkshire.
Leeds have only won one of their last five matches in the top-flight and are 15/4 (4.75) outsiders to win a home match against a top-half team for the first time this season.
These sides actually drew 1-1 in their last Premier League meeting on this ground, albeit back in December 2003, and another stalemate can be backed at 3/1 (4.0).
Leeds United vs Chelsea Team News
Leeds look set to welcome back Jamie Shackleton and Robin Koch, but Pablo Hernandez, Pascal Struijk and Adam Forshaw are all injured.
Tammy Abraham is the lone potential absentee for the Blues, with the striker suffering from an ankle injury.
Leeds United vs Chelsea Preview
The defensive transformation of Chelsea under Tuchel cannot be overstated, with the Londoners conceding only two Premier League goals during the German’s reign so far.
The Blues have also kept three clean sheets in a row and against a Leeds team that has failed to score in three of their last four, another strong defensive performance could be on the cards.
However, there may not be much action at the other end as whilst Marcelo Bielsa’s side have conceded 46 times this season – more than all but three teams – they have shipped only once or fewer times in seven of their last 10 outings.
Leeds United vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions
With Chelsea also struggling in the final third, having not scored more than twice in any game under Tuchel’s tutelage, the 1.900 price from bet365 on under 2.5, 3.0 goals on the Asian Goal Line looks a strong selection.
This will pay out in full if there are two or fewer goals, whilst exactly three strikes will see half the stake returned.
