Chelsea–Leeds

We're heading to London and Stamford Bridge for what we hope will be a goal-filled match.

Chelsea are firmly in the top half of the Premier League table this season, but have had some goal-rich games both forward and backward. Chelsea have conceded goals in many of their matches and have seen most scoring potential in offensive phases — which opens up goals from both teams in a match like this. The entry of Liam Rosenior has clearly made Chelsea a better team.

Leeds United, under manager Daniel Farke , have had a season with both wins and losses, but particularly characterized by an open and attacking style of play, and matches marked by goals from both sides.

This combination makes Chelsea – Leeds a match that often produces goals and chances, from both the home and away teams.
