Previous Leeds vs Chelsea Head-to-Head Matches

Chelsea 3-2 Leeds Chelsea 1-0 Leeds Leeds 3-0 Chelsea Leeds 0-3 Chelsea Chelsea 3-2 Leeds

Leeds have had some good games against Chelsea, while they have only won a single match in the last 5 meetings, that match was a dominant 3-0 win. However, other than that win they have had some close games with 2 3-2 matches and a 1-0 loss. This will give them a confidence boost as they will see it as a possibility that they can get a result against Chelsea. However, their confidence could be knocked as they have conceded 3 goals 3 times in the last 5 meetings and with how Chelsea is playing currently, that could become another 3 goals scored.

Chelsea will go into this game a lot more confident as apart from the one loss, they have won every other game that has been played in the last 5 meetings and have done it relatively confidently. They have always been able to score against Leeds excluding the one loss, over then that, they have been scoring for fun averaging 2 goals per game against Leeds.

Leeds previous 5 matches: Burnley 2-0 Leeds (A) Premier League Leeds 2-1 West Ham (H) Premier League Brighton 3-0 Leeds (A) Premier League Nottingham Forest 3-1 Leeds (A) Premier League Leeds 1-2 Aston Villa (H) Premier League

Some poor form recently for Leeds having only managed to win a single game in the last 5 matches. However, that win like this game, was at home and this should give them some confidence that they can get something from this game. However, whatever confidence that they might have will be limited as all 3 other games after that win have been losses with 2 of them see Leeds concede 3 goals. They have been defensively poor, and this will cost them against Chelsea.

Chelsea previous 5 matches: Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea (A) Premier League Qarabag FK 2-2 Chelsea (A) Champions League Chelsea 3-0 Wolves (H) Premier League Burnley 0-2 Chelsea (A) Premier League Chelsea 3-0 Barcelona

Some very strong results for Chelsea and that last win against Barcelona being the peak of their amazing recent form. However, their results have just been the shining lights as they have been very strong this season everywhere. In the last 5 matches they have scored 11 goals and only conceded 2 and those 2 goals came from the same game. They have kept 4 clean sheets in the last 5 matches something that could cause Leeds issues as they have struggled to score in recent matches. They are very likely to win this game based off current form.

Key Players to Watch: Leeds vs Chelsea

Lukas Nmecha (Leeds): The 26-year-old has been Leeds top scorer this season with 4 goals in 12 games. He has been good this season matching his xg showing that he is very much reliable when in front of goal. He has been reliable when in front of the goal no matter what the type of play is, scoring from set pieces, fast breaks and open play. If Leeds score and they get a result from this game, he is the man who will more than likely score.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea): The highly anticipated return of Chelsea’s super star will most likely play his second game back from injury against Leeds. There isn’t much that needs to be said about him, attacking flair and ability he has it all. Even after being out injured for most of the season, he has already picked up 2 goals and will look to kick on from there. Everything Chelsea will do when going forward will more than likely go through Palmer and if Chelsea win expect him to contribute to at least one goal if not more.
