Chelsea vs Leeds United live updates | OneFootball

Leeds United bid to reach the League Cup fourth round for the first time under Daniel Farke when they face Chelsea tonight. A win would be their deepest run since 2021 and would keep their unbeaten start intact.

According to Leeds Live, Chelsea look reformed under Xabi Alonso and are expected to rotate, with Farke also set to freshen his side. Some players may still be stirred by April's Wembley semi-final.

Team news brought debuts for goalkeeper Michael Zetterer and left-back Melvin Bard for Leeds, while Chelsea made nine changes. Jean-Matteo Bahoya was in line for minutes. Joe Rodon remains out with a hamstring problem for about two more months.

Kick-off was delayed by 15 minutes due to travel issues for supporters. Leeds warmed up in their yellow away kit and a sizeable away end took shape.

Once play began, Leeds kicked off and the early exchanges were scrappy with little created. The contest initially unfolded in central areas without clear chances.
