Chelsea - Leeds Prediction, Picks and Tips

On Saturday, at 20:00, Chelsea and Leeds United face in the 11th round of the Premier League. The guests come to the match without Berardi, Forshaw, Hernandez and Llorente, while Frank Lampard has the full team at the game on Stamford Bridge. A high quality game is announced, between two teams that are in good shape and come after positive results. Chelsea comes after an excellent series of results, which led Lampard's team to 3rd place in the championship. Even if they have only 5 active victories, the Londoners boast the best attack in the league and are only two points behind the Tottenham leader. The rotation made by the English maanger works wonderfully for white-blues. Leeds had started the season very well, but now it has dropped to 12th place, after a difficult series of games. However, last stage Marcelo Bielsa's team prevailed on Everton's field, score 1-0, with Raphinha's goal.

It was a solid new performance for the Nordics, who also recently played for Aston Villa (3-0), Leicester (1-4), Crystal Palace (1-4) and Arsenal (0-0). Even if they are newly promoted, Leeds play a convincing game, have an excellent possession of the ball and will be a formidable rival for Chelsea. The quality of the game is at a high level in both teams and it seems risky to bet on victory here! But the Londoners have been brilliant lately, in the victories with Sheffield United (4-1), Newcastle (2-0), Rennes (2-1) and Sevilla (4-0). In the previous five games, The Blues ticked 4 hits and a white draw in the local derby with Tottenham (0-0). It was a special reunion between Frank Lampard and Jose Mourinho, who worked together on Stamford Bridge, during the "golden" period of the club owned by Roman Abramovic.

Overall, we can't help but think of a quality game on Stamford Bridge. Even though Mendy has a dream season in Chelsea's goal, Leeds has interesting attacking players who can cause problems. Rodrigo is one of them, Alioski is another, but the top scorer Patrick Bamford has a special stake this weekend, because he spent good seasons "in the shadows" at Chelsea. It has been 8 years since the last direct duel of the two teams, and Chelsea won in 2012 with 5-1, on Elland Road, in the English League Cup. In 3 of the last 4 direct meetings both teams have scored and this is a solid bet for the match on Stamford Bridge.
