On Sunday, the side missed an opportunity to take the first title in a new era of the club. They were defeated by Liverpool in the EFL Cup final, with Virgil van Dijk scoring a decisive in the second extra time (1:0). This is the second mistake Chelsea has made in February. The also beat Aston Villa and Crystal Palace (3:1 on both occasions) and ended an away game against Manchester City in a draw (1:1).
This has been a perfect month for Leeds. They managed to beat their main rival in the Championship, Leicester (3:1). Leeds are only 6 points behind them now, having the best defensive line in the league (27 goals conceded in 34 games). Leeds were lucky with a draw in this tournament. For example, they played against Peterborough United from a lower league.
The bright series Leeds have had in February can end in this game. Chelsea want to win after failing to get the EFL Cup trophy.
Leeds had six head-to-head games against Chelsea during the three seasons that the Whites spent in the Premier League, losing four of them. The support of the fans at Stamford Bridge should be helpful. Chelsea are more motivated, they should win.
