Leeds United welcome Chelsea to Elland Road on Sunday afternoon in their toughest test of the Premier League season.

[Premier League](/topic/premier-league) and Sky Sports Main Event will broadcast the fixture. Bamford was forced out of last week’s 2-2 draw at Southampton due to a groin strain, while an Achilles problem has delayed skipper Cooper’s start to the season. [Chelsea](/topic/chelsea) have won at Everton and drawn at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

Chelsea have an excellent recent record at Elland Road against Leeds United, and Kevin Hatchard expects them to enhance that on Sunday.

Leeds have seen 15 of their last 19 top-flight games feature at least three goals, while at Elland Road an overs bet has landed in 13 of the last 20 in the top division. Given that he's in terrific form, and may well spearhead the attack in Bamford's absence, odds-against for just one shot on target's an attractive price. Our friends at Opta tell us that Chelsea have gone seven games unbeaten against Leeds in the Premier League, and last term the Blues won this fixture 3-0. Last weekend's 2-2 draw at Southampton was a great example - the Whites were 2-0 up and in control at St. Last season, the West Londoners ended up 19 points adrift of the eventual champions, and they suffered cup final heartbreak not once but twice against Liverpool. The Gabon striker is a proven performer in England, and worked very well with Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea have not been at their best so far this season and have plenty of work to do in the coming months. The Blues were held to a 2-2 draw by Tottenham Hotspur in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend. The home side played out a 2-2 draw against Southampton last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

[We] have to be well aware and also to manage our expectations [...] You cannot play without mistakes against these teams. “[...] I expect a high-intensity game, a high-pressing team from Leeds and a very emotional stadium. Christian Pulisic is apparently “touch and go” with the ‘Achilles problems’ he has had as of late. But it is far too early to claim he is the player to fill in Raphinha’s shoes, since it would not be surprising if most of the attacking burden falls on winger Jack Harrison until they sign a new striker. It is hard to say Leeds have gotten better ever since given the extremely small sample pool of two Premier League matches. Despite our best efforts Burnley, Watford and Norwich’s incompetence far outweighed Leeds’, who narrowly escaped from a return to Championship football thanks to a 2-1 win over Brentford in the last match of the previous term.

Chelsea will be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend, as they face Leeds United in the Premier League. An entertaining but controversial game ...

FIFA 22 predicts that Leeds and Chelsea could be very evenly matched on Sunday afternoon, though the Blues' quality in front of goal proved the difference. With options on either side, the Moroccan opted to shoot from distance instead, and his effort flew into the net to make it 2-0. Chelsea were able to benefit from their craving for an equaliser, and substitute Hakim Ziyech confirmed all three points in the 90th minute. The first major chance of the game fell to Chelsea, and it got them the breakthrough they needed. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 22 and updated the squads with the latest transfers. Both [Thomas Tuchel](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/every-word-thomas-tuchel-said-24801473) and Antonio Conte were sent off in the match.

It's entirely plausible that Marsch could name more or less the same squad that travelled to Southampton last week, but much of that will depend on the decisions made on [Patrick Bamford](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/patrick-bamford) and club captain [Liam Cooper.](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/liam-cooper) Both players are doubts for the game against Thomas Tuchel's side, and Leeds are set to make a decision on Saturday as to whether they will be involved. The American said: "I think we have a team that can cause some havoc against an opponent like this right now. Both the striker and Cooper have been involved in some elements of training this week, but the defender hasn't been named in a squad all season.

That means that James is likely to be deployed in the right centre-back role, unless Tuchel opts for a back four which seems unlikely. The expectation was probably that Loftus-Cheek would move from right wing-back into the midfield but he remains on the right-hand side after a strong performance against Tottenham. The 19-year-old midfielder was one of the most highly-rated midfield prospects in Italy prior to his departure from the San Siro. Jorginho, Koulibaly and James have provided the goals and Tuchel will be desperate for a greater contribution from his front three. Despite the sides being at opposite ends of the country, there is still a real rivalry between these two sides. An electric start from Sterling and the visitors. If they weren't already, the Leeds players have certainly been woken up by that very early Sterling miss. Another Chelsea counter attack and another big chance to break the deadlock. The travelling supporters thought that Sterling had put them in front with a really neat finish. This scoreline is nothing short of what the hosts have deserved, they have been excellent.

But Chelsea still need to show more. The England international concedes a foul on the edge of the Chelsea box and is shown a yellow card. The hosts have a second and it's Rodrigo, who glances a header into the far corner from a free-kick. The Blues have been caught offside a couple of times in the second period so far but are having more joy on the ball too. The home side almost get in as they catch Koulibaly and Silva high up the pitch but Chelsea defend well enough to limit Leeds to a corner. Leeds have proved a good opponent for the Blues since returning to the top flight in 2020, winning three of their previous four encounters, the last coming at Elland Road back in May with Chelsea running out comfortable 3-0 winners.
