Leeds United news as ex-Chelsea star admits Blues 'change' amid Whites victory claim

Here are the Leeds United morning headlines on Saturday, March 4.

Jason Cundy highlights 'changed' Chelsea amid Leeds United victory claim

TalkSPORT host and former Chelsea star Jason Cundy has admitted that he doesn't think Chelsea can beat Leeds United when the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The clash is big for both sides, as a result for the Whites would see Javi Gracia's side lift themselves further away from the relegation zone while a win for the Blues would mean much-needed relief off of manager Graham Potter's back.

"There has been so many changes at that football club in a name only, from what it was a calendar year ago," Cundy said on talkSPORT late last night.

"Of course, the staff has changed in the dugout, the team has changed on the pitch, and there is so much change. But, do you know what Kev, none of that matters mate because it is about results, and it’s about tomorrow playing at home against Leeds.

"I’m going to tell you, I don’t think we’ll win tomorrow, it’s hard for me to say that Kev. I don’t think we’ll win tomorrow."

Full Leeds United squad to face Chelsea revealed as Javi Gracia ponders striker decision

Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia will have plenty of decisions to make as his side travel down to Stamford Bridge for their Premier League clash against Chelsea.

The Whites failed to make the quarter-final stage of the FA Cup for the first time in almost 20 years in midweek as a good display against Fulham was undone by two stunning efforts from Joao Palhinha and Manor Solomon.

However, a win against the Blues this weekend would see them do the league double over their historic rivals for the first time since 1992 and would go a long way to securing their safety in England's top flight for another season.

For the midweek defeat to Fulham, Gracia made four changes to his side which won 1-0 at Southampton and a change in formation to a 4-3-3 which saw good success despite the result.

Leeds United's best and worst-case relegation fight scenarios in the Premier League this weekend

Leeds United travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Saturday looking to steer themselves further away from the relegation zone. Junior Firpo's 77th-minute strike earned Javi Gracia a 1-0 win on his Leeds debut, and helped them climb out of the bottom three.

They also ended their 10-match winless run in the Premier League, and will come up against a Chelsea side, who have collected just two wins from their last 15 league games.

With another important weekend in terms of the relegation battle now upon us, LeedsLive take a look at the best and worst-case scenarios for the Whites.
