Chelsea vs Leeds team news and preview

Things could turn very ugly at Stamford Bridge today as Chelsea host their fierce Premier League rivals Leeds in what looks like a must-win game for Graham Potter's men. Chelsea's embarrassing 3-0 defeat to the same opponents at the start of the season was their lowest moment of the campaign, though such is the hostility towards Potter at the moment that some fans may argue otherwise. Either way, a repeat performance might spell curtains for the Blues' besieged head coach.

With Chelsea 10th and out of both domestic cup competitions, the club's supporters are baying for blood, though it's worth remembering that the team's struggles didn't start with Potter, who commands a near-identical record to his predecessor Thomas Tuchel this season. Naturally, that hasn't stopped fans from calling for Tuchel to now replace Potter at the helm.

A winless stretch of six games doesn't sound like the end of the world, but Chelsea fans simply aren't used to this, and the money that Todd Boehly has lavished on new signings raised expectations and dispelled patience. Of those, only Joao Felix has impressed so far, and goals are still proving extremely difficult to come by. As if matters couldn't get any worse, star man Reece James and skipper Thiago Silva are both injured.

Wesley Fofana starts for the first time since October as a makeshift right-back, while Kalidou Koulibaly partners Benoit Badiashile at the heart of backline. Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling join Felix in attack, with Mateo Kovacic acting as the bridge between defence and attack.

If there's another team that knows all about playing well and paying heavily for squandered opportunities, it's Leeds. The Javi Gracia era got off to a winning start last weekend, but their FA Cup tie in midweek marked a return to the usual ways.

Leeds had two goals ruled out, hit the post, force a string of saves and were eventually undone by two long-range stunners as they somehow succumbed to Fulham, but they mustn’t let that dishearten them. Georginio Rutter looked particularly impressive on the night, and with Rodrigo and Patrick Bamford injured, a lively center-forward is exactly what the team has been crying out for.

The Frenchman is at the tip of an attacking diamond, with Crysencio Summerville, Jack Harrison and Brenden Aaronson in support. That means there's no place in the Leeds starting XI for Wilfried Gnonto, who has to be content with a seat on the bench.
