Chelsea vs Leeds Predictions

• Leeds are unbeaten in their last 12 matches
• Leeds have won four games on the spin
• Both teams have scored in five of Chelsea’s last six games

Blues unlikely to bounce back from EFL Cup heartbreak

Only three days after their EFL Cup final heartbreak against Liverpool, Chelsea must turn their attention to another cup competition and they could be vulnerable in their FA Cup fifth round encounter with Leeds at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues failed to see off an injury-hit Liverpool side in the final of the EFL Cup on Sunday, losing 1-0 after Virgil van Dijk’s 118th-minute winner.

That defeat will have taken its toll on the Chelsea players both physically and psychologically and they may not be at their sharpest for the visit of Leeds.

The away side are oozing confidence right now, having given their promotion push an almighty boost with a 3-1 win over table-toppers Leicester on Friday, extending their winning run to four games and their unbeaten streak to 12.

Leeds can make their mark at Stamford Bridge

They have not yet faced Premier League opposition in the FA Cup this term but that win against Leicester showed that Daniel Farke’s men can handle high-pressure situations and they can avoid defeat in London.

Chelsea have blown hot and cold all season and were not exactly in blistering form before the EFL Cup final, having won only two of their last seven contests – and both of those victories came away from Stamford Bridge.

Leeds or draw double chance is the best match bet, while a wager 2-1 to the visitors is the way to go in the correct score market.
