Chelsea vs Leeds United – Predictions and Best Odds
Chelsea Current Run of Form
The Blues are on a horrendous run of form. Graham Potter has been unable to find consistent form, with costly players underperforming against the fans’ expectations. With a recent loss against bottom-of-the-table Southampton and only one win in 2023, Stamford Bridge needs to see a change soon.

Leeds United Current Run of Form
Where the London side are suffering a severe downturn, Leeds United are managing to see some reversal in their performance. Javi Gracia’s arrival has seen a victory over Southampton and an extremely unfortunate loss to Fulham in the FA Cup, with the side creating more chances and offering up fewer defensive gaps. Victory over Chelsea could be the first spark in a big revival.

Recent Head to Head
In the reverse fixture, Elland Road hosted an absolute rout of the Blues, with Jesse Marsch’s side securing a 3-0 win. However, without this result the Yorkshire club haven’t won over the West Londoners in over twenty years. They’ll be hoping to put that poor run to bed this weekend.
Chelsea vs Leeds United Prediction
Both Chelsea and Leeds United have been struggling in recent months, but only one of the two has shown any sign of reversing their fortunes. The Whites are sure to create plenty of opportunities this weekend and take advantage of Graham Potter’s lack of confidence throughout the team. If Patrick Bamford and Georginio Rutter can convert their opportunities, this could be a fairly comfortable away victory.
Current Odds: Chelsea vs Leeds United
Leeds are outsiders for this clash at 4/1, with Chelsea’s odds of 2/3 making them firm favourites. The draw comes in at a distant 14/5.
