At 04:15 on December 4th Beijing Time, in the 14th round of the Premier League (a midweek double fixture), newly promoted Leeds United will host Chelsea.

Leeds United vs Chelsea, the match highlights are as follows:

First:Team Status! After 13 rounds in the Premier League, Leeds United has 3 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses, totaling 11 points and ranking third from the bottom, deeply trapped in the relegation zone; Chelsea has 7 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses with 24 points, ranking third. In the last round, Leeds United lost 2-3 away to Manchester City with a last-minute goal, suffering their fourth consecutive league defeat; Chelsea drew 1-1 at home against Arsenal, with Caicedo sent off but still holding firm with one less player. Chelsea has remained unbeaten in the last 7 matches across all competitions with 5 wins and 2 draws, showing excellent form.

Second:Newly Promoted Team’s Limited Strength Means Home Advantage Won’t Stop Chelsea from Taking All 3 Points! Among the newly promoted teams in the Premier League, except Sunderland, the other two are stuck in the relegation zone, including Leeds United, whose overall strength is quite limited. Although Leeds scored 2 goals in an attacking match against Manchester City last round and almost forced a draw, if Leeds pushes forward, Chelsea will be even more comfortable. With Caicedo suspended, Chelsea will rely on offense instead of defense, attacking Leeds aggressively to score more goals. Both teams have midweek fixtures, but Chelsea is unafraid of playing away at Leeds. This will be an open game, and Chelsea is favored to win away and take all 3 points.

In the last 6 meetings between the two sides, Leeds United has 1 win, 1 draw, and 4 losses, clearly at a disadvantage.

Injury and Suspension Updates: Leeds United hasBonnaud, Stach, Lonstaf, Daniel James; Chelsea hasCaicedo, Corver, Esugo, Rawia.
