Leeds vs. Chelsea Prediction, Pick
Chelsea have been on a roll lately, unbeaten in each of their last seven games in all competitions. They are coming off arguably their two best performances of the season. First, they beat Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League. Then, they drew 1-1 with Arsenal, despite playing with 10 men for more than half the match. The Blues come into this one in great form and should be no match for Leeds.
Leeds got off to a great start to the season, but things have started to go wrong in a hurry. They have lost their last four Premier League games in a row and now find themselves in the relegation zone at 18th position in the table. They need to turn things around, and fast, but I’m not sure this will be the game to do it. Leeds have lost four of their last five games against Chelsea in all competitions, and they are facing the Blues at the wrong time.
Chelsea have been excellent away from home in this season’s Premier League, and a win on Wednesday would mean that they have picked up more points on the road than any other Premier League side. They have won four of their six away games so far, while losing to Man United and drawing to Brentford. Leeds have been better at Elland Road than on their travels, but they have still only won two of their six home matches.
Chelsea are the better side both on paper and on the pitch. Even with some expected rotation to the starting 11, the Blues should have more than enough to come away with three points.
