he last time Chelsea travelled to Elland Road in the Premier League in 2022, they left with a 3-0 defeat. This time, a high-flying Blues side travels there again, only this time, to face a Leeds United side battling relegation.
It's Premier League action on Wednesday, December 3, as Chelsea travel to Elland Road to face a Leeds United side mired in a poor run of form. Blues boss Enzo Maresca will be aiming for his first competitive win against the Whites.
📈Team Form📉

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams 🔥
⚪Leeds United | Form: L🔴W🟢L🔴L🔴L🔴L🔴:
Despite being in the relegation zone, Daniel Farke's side can take heart from a spirited second-half display in their 3-2 loss to Manchester City.
However, they have conceded multiple goals in each of their last four league games and with pressure mounting, they will have to start getting positive results soon before the fans start turning on the team.
🔵Chelsea | Form: W🟢L🔴W🟢W🟢W🟢D🟡:
Enzo Maresca's side extended their unbeaten run with a merited 1-1 draw against Arsenal, despite playing much of the game with ten men.
They boast a formidable away record and have scored in all 10 of their away games this season, a feat they will look to repeat against a Leeds side that will be fighting for their lives and have memories of a 3-0 victory against the Blues on the same ground in mind.

Perri, Rodon, Struijk, Bijol, Bogle, Gruev, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson, Calvert-Lewin, Nmecha.
