Leeds – Chelsea, Picks and Tips
"The Peacocks have dropped into the relegation zone following the results of the last round. They are currently just below the line in 18th place. They are tied however with Burnley in 17th and Everton are one point better off in 16th. "The Toffees, however, have a game in hand. Leeds have had a very good run recently, five consecutive games without defeat (three wins and two draws). In the last two games, Jesse Marsch's boys have lost to Manchester City (0-4) and Arsenal (1-2).
Thomas Tuchel's Blues, on the other hand, are coming off three consecutive winless games in the Premier League. They drew against Manchester United (1-1) and Wolves (2-2), but were beaten 1-0 away by Everton. After 35 rounds this season, Chelsea are in 3rd place in the English Championship. Arsenal, in fourth, have closed dangerously close to within a point. Tottenham are five points behind the Stamford Bridge outfit, with the Peacocks leading the way in head-to-head meetings with the Londoners. They have 39 wins against Chelsea. The Stamford Bridge club has 36 wins. However, Wednesday's hosts have not won in any of the last seven Leeds - Chelsea matches. In the league tour, Thomas Tuchel's side won 3-2 on home soil. Raphinha opened the scoring for the visitors, but Mason Mount and Jorginho (from the penalty spot) put the Blues ahead. Joe Gelhardt equalised, but the same Jorginho, also from a penalty, kept all three points in London. The decisive goal came in the fourth minute of extra time!
