Blues out for revenge after suffering defeat in reverse fixture

Chelsea take on Leeds during the midweek round of fixtures from the Premier League.

It finished 3-1 to Leeds when the sides met in the reverse fixture at Elland Road back in December, part of a run of one win in nine league games for the Blues as they drifted out of the title race.

However, it is a much different Chelsea side nine weeks on. A change in manager has seen an upturn in results as Liam Rosenior has overseen four straight league wins as well as a place in the Champions League last-16.

The Carabao Cup semi-final defeats to Arsenal aside, it has been a promising start to life as Blues head coach for Rosenior, although a tough test awaits against a Leeds team that has sights set on pulling further clear of the bottom three.

After suffering a 4-0 loss at home to the Gunners, Leeds bounced back in style to beat Nottingham Forest last Friday and now sit six points clear of the relegation zone.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Chelsea vs Leeds is scheduled for a 7.30pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.

Chelsea vs Leeds team news

Chelsea are set to welcome Reece James back from injury for the visit of Leeds.

The Blues captain has missed the last two games - against Arsenal and Wolves - with what Rosenior has described as a “a pain management issue” but should be available for selection.

Andrey Santos, however, is a doubt after limping off late on during the win over Wolves, while back-up goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen could return to the matchday squad.

This game may come too soon for Tosin Adarabioyo to make his comeback from a hamstring complaint. Jamie Gittens, Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo and Levi Colwill will all miss out through injury.

Leeds did not pick up any fresh injury concerns following their win over Forest, leaving manager Daniel Farke with nearly a fully fit squad to choose from for the trip to west London.

Anton Stach is the only senior player unavailable because of a hip issue, though he could return for the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Birmingham at the weekend.

Chelsea vs Leeds prediction

This is a tough one to call as while Chelsea are in fine form, Leeds have proven to be a tough nut to crack since their win in the reverse fixture.

That said, Leeds have only won once on their travels in the league this season and we do not expect that to change with Chelsea edging this one.

Chelsea to win, 2-1.
