A massive game takes place at Elland Road this week, with relegation strugglers Leeds United playing host to Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea side.

The Whites find themselves in a spot of bother after a resurgence in form from both Burnley and Everton, which puts Jesse Marsch's team in severe danger.

Chelsea will be trying to regain some form before the FA Cup final against Liverpool at the weekend. They are without a win in three games now and have really slowed down in the latter stages of the 2021/22 campaign.

So, who will emerge victorious? Here's everything you need to know regarding Leeds against Chelsea. It should be a cracker!

The home side has had injury problems to deal with all year, so it's not a surprise to see quite a few names out again for this fixture. Liam Cooper picked up a knee injury at the weekend, so he is a doubt. Patrick Bamford has also been struggling with injuries since March, he is also doubtful but looks to be set to return sometime soon. Luke Ayling is also suspended after he picked up a silly red card in the defeat against Arsenal.

Adam Forshaw, Crysencio Summerville, Stuart Dallas and Tyler Roberts are all out for the season through injury.

Chelsea on the other hand look to be without midfield pair N'Golo Kante and Jorginho as they both have knocks. They'll join Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ben Chilwell on the injury list.

Chelsea have no suspensions they need to worry about.

Leeds United Predicted XI: Meslier; Llorente, Struijk, Koch, Firpo; Klich, Phillips; Raphinha, Rodrigo, James; Gelhardt

Chelsea Predicted XI: Mendy; Christensen, Chalobah, Rudiger; James, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Sarr; Mount; Werner, Lukaku

Both teams have had extremely leaky defences as of late, so expect goals. But overall Chelsea's overall firepower should help them prevail at Elland Road. Leeds could certainly be in trouble.
