Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea look to run their Premier League winning streak to five when much-improved Leeds United visit Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
The Blues sit in fifth place with 43 points after 25 matches and find themselves in the middle of a host of teams angling for a top-five finish and a spot in the UEFA Champions League. They beat Wolves 3-1 on Saturday as Cole Palmer’s hat trick proved he is getting back towards his best after injuries.
WATCH — Chelsea v Leeds
Chelsea will be wary of their Tuesday visitors after losing 3-1 to Leeds at Elland Road in early December, a result that kicked Leeds’ season into a much better gear. Leeds entered that game in 18th place and the newly-promoted side have not looked back. Daniel Farke’s men have gone 4W-6D-2L in the ensuing 12 matches to move six points clear of the bottom three, as they won 3-1 at home against Nottingham Forest last Friday in a huge match.

Chelsea vs Leeds prediction
Leeds sweeping Chelsea seems like a fever dream of a sentence even given the excellent job done by Farke at Elland Road. The Blues are running well now and are better equipped to deal with two games in a short period of time (even if Leeds have an extra half-day’s rest). Chelsea 3-1 Leeds .
