Chelsea face Premier League strugglers Leeds United at Elland Road tonight in what is another big game in the Premier League. The Blues will be hoping they can turn around their poor form ahead of this weekend’s FA Cup final with Liverpool having only won once in their last five league matches.
The latest of those was a draw at home to Wolves, where Thomas Tuchel ’s men blew a two-goal lead late into injury time. With fourth-placed Arsenal just one point behind and Tottenham in fifth also lurking, it makes for a tense ending to seal Champions League qualification.
They will be encouraged by the fact that Leeds might not be at full strength, however. The Peacocks are already without Luke Ayling after his wild lunge on Gabriel Martinelli saw him sent off for violent conduct against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon. The club's vice-captain will now miss the rest of the season because of that challenge.
