Chelsea on the Up at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea are in strong recent form and have clicked under Xabi Alonso recently. The Blues have won five of their last seven in all competitions, including three home victories.
Alonso’s side were on a four match winning streak, starting with a 3-1 home victory against Real Sociedad. Chelsea continued their good form in 2026/27, winning 3-2 at Fulham and at home against Luton 2-0 and Brighton 4-3.
The west London team were then beaten 2-1 at Arsenal on Sunday. Morgan Rogers scored after just two minutes and Chelsea conceded either side of half time.
Leeds Rarely Win on the Road
Daniel Farke’s side are lacking long-term away form after failing to win in 19 of their previous 24.
The Whites ended the 2025/26 season with a 3-0 away defeat at relegated West Ham. They hit back by defeating Nottingham Forest 1-0 and 2-0 to start the new campaign.
Leeds’ mini winning run ended with a 1-1 home draw against Brentford. Farke’s team were outplayed, allowing 1.68 XG and facing 22 shots.
The Yorkshire outfit gave up a 1-0 lead and drew 1-1 at Brighton last time out. Jayden Bogle scored after 15 minutes before Leeds allowed 2.2 XG and conceded with 20 minutes remaining.

Chelsea (3-4-2-1): Mike Penders; Josh Acheampong, Maxence Lacroix, Levi Colwill; Malo Gusto, Valentin Barco, Romeo Lavia, Pep Chavarria; Estevao, Jamie Gittens; Danny Welbeck
Defender Marco Palestra and midfielder Jordan Henderson are sidelined with injuries.
Moises Caicedo is an injury doubt. Xabi Alonso gave an update on the midfielder’s condition after the Arsenal game and said:
