Chelsea return to Stamford Bridge this weekend looking to vanquish memories of their 1-0 defeat to Southampton at their west London home. On that day, the Blues suffered the sting of being defeated by a relegation candidate and seeing the Saints complete a league double to earn one third of the total points they have achieved this season.
Defeat to Spurs last weekend will have been even more difficult for the Blues' faithful to take but upon returning to their home, they will be tasked with facing similar demons to the last time they played hosts. While hoping to earn a win after being winless in six, and hoping to add to their goal tally having netted once in that time, Chelsea find themselves in a familiar situation.
Much like Southampton, Leeds find themselves firmly in a relegation battle and with a new head coach in Java Gracia. Like the Saints, the West Yorkshire side comprehensively defeated Graham Potter's side early in the season, as goals from Brendan Aaronson, Rodrigo Moreno and Jack Harrison delivered Chelsea's first loss of the campaign.
