One former Chelsea player believes Cole Palmer will score tonight as he predicts the Leeds United vs Chelsea game.
The Blues are playing tonight in the latest round of midweek Premier League games and will be looking to come away with all three points after Manchester City won last night and increased the points gap ahead of The Blues.
It was an emphatic and open game at Fulham last night with loads of goals. Fulham were 5-1 down at one point but clawed it back to finish the game as a 4-5 defeat to City.
Chelsea will not be wanting a similar game as that tonight as they will look to take advantage of poor form from Leeds and a manager who is under pressure to get results.
No game is easy at this level, of course, but Chelsea should be going there for the win tonight.
Emmanuel Petit has been speaking ahead of the game in words on Tribal Football.
He says:
“Leeds vs Chelsea is never easy. Playing against Leeds at home is a battle, but come on, Chelsea have to win now. They have to show that they are fighting for the title, too.
“They cannot afford to drop points because they are pretty sure that Arsenal will win against Brentford.”

Petit thinks that Cole Palmer will score on his return to the line up (hopefully), or off the bench.
He continued:
“I see Chelsea winning. Cole Palmer will score. This is a typical game for him to score goals.”
Enzo Maresca has explained his message to the players ahead of the game tonight as title talk grows.
The Blues boss also denies any claims that Chelsea lack energy and speed against some teams they have faced this season.
