Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has labelled tomorrow’s night clash with Leeds United as ‘do or die’ for the Whites. Leeds currently sit in the bottom three for the first time since October heading into the meeting at Elland Road but can climb above Burnley if they avoid defeat.
If the Whites come away empty handed, however, their situation at the bottom of the table will begin to look very bleak, as Burnley would be ahead of them on goal difference, with a game in hand. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Tuchel understands how big Wednesday evening is for Leeds, but is looking forward to a cup-tie like atmosphere.
Via quotes from Football London, he said: “This is a match for them when it's like do or die. It's like a cup match and the atmosphere will be like this. I'm looking forward to it actually. I've played there once but it was without spectactors. We will feel it straight away so we will need to step up.”
