How is Leeds coming into the match?

Leeds comes into the 14th round of the English Championship under pressure from poor results. Daniel Farke’s team has suffered four consecutive defeats, a streak that has pushed them down to 18th place, opening the relegation zone with just 11 points. Their most recent setback was a 3-2 loss to Manchester City.

Despite the bad run, Leeds will have almost their entire squad available. Sebastiaan Bornauw and Anton Stach are expected to return to the team, while James Justin, who left the last game after a knock, is not a concern and should be included. The only confirmed absence is Sean Longstaff, out due to injury.

How is Chelsea coming into the match?

Chelsea is experiencing the opposite reality and arrives strengthened by a good run this season. The Blues are unbeaten in seven matches and have 24 points, occupying third place in the Premier League. In their last outing, they drew 1-1 with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Despite the positive phase, Enzo Maresca will have important absences. Caicedo is serving a three-match suspension after receiving a red card, while Reece James is expected to be rested to avoid fatigue. The coach will also be without Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia, and Dário Essugo, all out due to physical issues, as well as Mykhaylo Mudryk, suspended for doping.

Even with significant absences, Chelsea comes in as the favorite and sees the match as a chance to overtake Manchester City and stay close to leaders Arsenal in the fight for the top spots.
