Chelsea v Leeds predictions

Chelsea’s season went from bad to worse on Sunday as they were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool in the EFL Cup final and the misery may not be over as they host Leeds in tonight’s FA Cup fifth round.

The Blues dominated for large periods of the final but again their finishing deserted them as they missed big chance after big chance before Virgil Van Dijk was able to take advantage with a winner in extra time.

Mauricio Pochettino claimed that his side were hanging on for a penalty shootout at that point and that attitude does not bode well for the rest of the campaign.

They face a Leeds team riding high after winning their last nine Championship games, including a crucial 3-1 comeback victory over title rivals Leicester on Friday.

That victory showed the battle and belief in this Whites side, something that has looked sorely missing from Chelsea at times this season.

Daniel Farke’s men are unbeaten in their last 12 games and look a value selection to extend that run.

After a mentally and physically draining loss against Liverpool at the weekend, in which the focus has been on the Reds’ lack of experience triumphing over the Blues’ expensive squad, a highly motivated and in-form visiting side is the last thing Chelsea will want to face just three days later.

The hosts have now won just two of their last seven matches and Leeds are fancied to at least avoid defeat in this clash. 

Key stat
