The 20-year Chelsea hoodoo Leeds are looking to end today

Leeds United welcome Chelsea to Elland Road on Sunday, with the Whites looking to end a 20-year hoodoo against the Blues.

A game against Thomas Tuchel's side promises to be Leeds' toughest test of the season so far, and on top of that, the Whites haven't beaten Chelsea since 2002. Leeds last got the better of Chelsea 20 years ago, failing to beat them in their eight meetings.

In December 2002, the Whites beat Chelsea 2-0 at Elland Road. An own-goal from William Gallas and a strike from 16-year-old James Milner handed Leeds the win, denting the Blues' title ambitions in the process.
