Raheem Sterling, Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly have all dropped team news hints ahead of Chelsea's clash with Leeds United at Elland Road. The trio have posted pre-match graphic previews of the clash to their respective Instagram stories.
Jesse Marsch is set to welcome Thomas Tuchel to Elland Road as either side look to continue a rich vein of form. The Blues enter the tie off the back of an impressive performance against Tottenham Hotspur which was dampened by a controversial stoppage-time equaliser.
Chelsea, who have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign, will be out for vengeance in Yorkshire in a bid to translate a promising display into three points. But, Leeds are in great form too with a win over Wolves and a four-goal thriller versus Southampton.

Ahead of what is poised to be blockbuster matchup, Tuchel has spoken on what he expects to see. Speaking to football.london, the Blues boss said: "I expect a high-intensity game, a high-pressing team from Leeds and a very emotional stadium.
"We had a fantastic game last season at Elland Road and scored very early, very dominant and very focused and effective in front of goal," Tuchel added. "Of course, there was an early red card that played into our hands - still, was a very good performance.
"This is what we expect. Repetitive intensity, high pressing and a team that loves the chaos, a team of Leeds that has a high acceptance for mistakes. They don’t get frustrated by mistakes, they accept mistakes as chances to do counter-pressing and so on.
"We have to be well aware and also to manage our expectations, our level of acceptance for mistakes because mistakes against these high intensive teams like Liverpool, Leeds, Southampton, who have a certain style of pressing – you make mistakes. You cannot play without mistakes against these teams. You accept it before the match and make the best out of it, find the spaces.
"There is not a lot of time for decision making and this is what we prepare for now in training and hope to be on our top level and to find the level we had last week to be able to prove the statistics wrong! I did not know about it (record at Elland Road). So thanks for telling me."
