Chelsea host Leeds United

Chelsea host Leeds United at the Stamford Bridge in a match from the 11th round of the Premier League. We have high expectations for this clash, so allow us to take a look at it right now. Let’s get to work!

 

Chelsea approach this round from third place in the Premier League standings. At this moment the Blues are having 19 points won and they are just two points behind the leaders Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. The truth is Chelsea had the opportunity to become leaders, but in the previous round they only got a point during the 0-0 draw with Tottenham at the Stamford Bridge.

 

This is a tricky week for the manager Frank Lampard. His team will face Leeds just three days after a key fixture against Sevilla in the Champions League. Because of this most likely the manager will have to make some rotations and keep his players fresh.

 

There’s only one team with a better defense than Chelsea right now – Tottenham. So far Chelsea have conceded just 10 goals in 10 matches played, so they are doing well while defending. Alongside Liverpool they are also the club with the most goals scored – 22.

 

Leeds United are doing a decent job for a newcomer. The Peacocks are 12th in the standings with 14 points, so they are managing to keep a safe distance from the relegation zone. This is the main goal in front of the manager Marcelo Bielsa and his players – to stay safe.

 

Last week Leeds United achieved their 4th win for the season. The newcomers faced Everton at the Goodison Park and went home with a 1-0 win. Raphinha scored the only goal in the game.

 

That’s our preview for the Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Leeds United at the Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will try to win here, but it’s a tricky one for them, especially after a hard game in the Champions League.
