Chelsea
- Luke Ayling is suspended after his red card against Arsenal on Sunday and with Stuart Dallas ruled out through injury, Jamie Shackleton may start at right-back against Chelsea.
- Liam Cooper is a doubt for the home side, but will start if fit, however, Jesse Marsch is without Crysencio Summerville, Adam Forshaw, Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts.
- Rodrigo may come into the XI at Joe Gelhardt's expense.
- N'Golo Kante and Jorginho may not be risked here with the FA Cup final looming.
- Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi are both absent for the home side.
- Thomas Tuchel is likely to make changes ahead of Saturday's game against Liverpool.
- Saul Niguez, Malang Sarr and Hakim Ziyech are among those who could be given a chance to start, but Romelu Lukaku may keep his place after scoring twice on Saturday.
- Marcos Alonso reportedly fell out with Tuchel at half time of Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wolves and may have played his last game for the Blues.
Havertz and Werner are out and Chelsea wins in style immediately.
Chelsea to lose and get knocked out of top 4 deservingly
@Fate015 BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
@Fate015 it's impossible for them to get knocked out the top 4. did you not take math in high school?
@uefalona - It's not impossible, in theory Arsenal and Spurs could both overtake Chelsea. But it's unlikely. Chelsea play Leicester who have nothing to play for and Watford who are really poor. They should be beating both of them.
@andrew7taylor 67 - 62 = 5 points. You can only get 3 for a win. Now if you meant get knocked out of top 4 by end of the season, yes that's possible, but you didn't say that.
Chelsea & +2,5
Leeds didn't look absolutely terrible over the weekend, going down a man probably helped them forcing the side to play defensively for 60+mins of the match. The press from Arsenal forced Leeds into mistakes early though and that cost them the game. I expect Chelsea to also press high up the pitch and try to force Leeds into some of the same mistakes we've seen from them all season. It feels like Tuchel is losing grip on this team but I still figure Chelsea to get a solid win here. 0-2, 1-3
0-3 MotM Mason Mount
@NikitoZ55 Wow!
Chelsea to score over 1.5 goals @1.57
Some part of me wants Chelsea to lose and the 'bad eggs' wiped out, new season, new ownership, new tactics and players...but we are ChELsEA, we always find a way to qualify for top four; it hurts seeing Abramoviçh' glorious era come to a close, still hurts...
