Chelsea vs Leeds Match Preview and Prediction
Chelsea vs Leeds: Three days later, Chelsea would host Leeds in the League Cup final, hoping to get past a heartbreaking loss to an injured Liverpool team. Mauricio Pochettino’s only remaining opportunity to win a trophy with Chelsea is in the FA Cup. This is going to be a very dismal season for the Blues.
In the League Cup final, Chelsea had a great chance to defeat Liverpool, who were missing at least seven regular first-team players. Nevertheless, they succumbed to a header by Virgin van Dijk in extra time after failing to capitalize on numerous opportunities. The Blues, who now sit 11th in the Premier League, won’t be entering this match with great optimism.
Leeds’s story is the total opposite. At the end of Friday night’s top-of-the-table matchup with Championship leaders Leicester, the Peacocks executed an incredible comeback. Daniel Farke’s team defeated the table-toppers 3-1 to maintain their second-place standings in the division.
Chelsea vs Leeds: Betting Analysis

Who will win the match between Chelsea and Leeds?
Chelsea can and should be able to generate a respectable number of opportunities and shots on goal, in our opinion. Leeds United, on the other hand, might have trouble scoring goals, but we do believe that they will pose a threat occasionally. Therefore, when the final siren sounds, we are expecting Chelsea to win by a rather comfortable score of 3-1.
