Yahoo Finance Chelsea vs Leeds prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out tonight?
Chelsea take on Leeds in a tantalising Premier League late kick-off on Saturday.
Frank Lampard’s side are amid a fantastic run of form, with a heavily rotated side showing no signs of weakness in a brilliant 4-0 victory against Seville in the Champions League during the week.
The Blues head into the weekend just two points adrift of leaders Liverpool and Tottenham, with 19 points from their 10 games, and have a title challenge firmly within their sights.
Leeds will provide a tricky test of the Blues’ reinforced defence, though, with impressive new signing Raphinha scoring a late winner against Everton last week.
