Chelsea and Graham Potter are in desperate need of three points against Leeds United. The manager’s team selection featured three alterations to the side that lost 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Sunday.
That game proved costly in more than one way for the Blues, as it also resulted in Thiago Silva sustaining a knee injury that has ruled him out for around six weeks. Meanwhile, Potter was dealt another blow on Friday when Reece James missed training due to a tight hamstring.
In their places were Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, as Potter reverted to a back-three. The other change saw Mateo Kovacic return from illness in place of Hakim Ziyech, who had to make do with a place among the substitutes.
