Leeds United vs Chelsea Link Live Streaming – Leeds vs Chelsea predictions in the continuation of the 2021/2022 Premier League schedule this midweek have the potential to be fierce. This is a meeting of 2 teams with 2 big ambitions each for the rest of the season.
The match will be held at Leeds United’s Elland Road Stadium and can be watched via live streaming on Live Koora on Wednesday, 11 May 2022, at 19:30 BST.
Only getting 5 points from the last 5 matches makes Chelsea’s position in the top 4 of the standings threatened. Now the Blues are only 5 points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in 5th place. With 3 matches remaining this season, anything can still happen in the race for tickets to the Champions League.
On the other hand, Leeds United must win in order to maintain hope of surviving in the EPL next season. Currently, the Whites are still struggling at rank 18, with 34 points. They only lost on goal difference to residents of ladder 17, Burnley.

Leeds United’s situation is relatively complicated. They must hunt for a win to get out of the relegation zone, while the opponent they will face is one of the top teams, Chelsea, which also needs maximum additional points.
The good news is that Burnley as a competitor to Leeds in the standings still has a match against a strong Tottenham Hotspur team in the remaining 3 matches this season.
Meanwhile, another advantage for Leeds is that 2 of the final 3 matches of the season will be played at their home base, Elland Road. Leeds home games are against Chelsea and Brighton, then the party away to Brentford.
On the other hand, Burnley has 2 matches away from Spurs and Aston Villa, before hosting Newcastle in the last week.
“Now we have to think positively. We know that now we are falling into a hole, and must get up immediately. Our focus must really be devoted to the match against Chelsea,” said Leeds United coach, Jesse Marsch.
On the other side, Chelsea is determined to take advantage of this match as momentum for revival. With the current standings, the Blues need an additional 2 wins to lock up next season’s UCL ticket. But Chelsea can also hope that Tottenham will lose to Arsenal so that the situation is more favorable for them.
Currently, Chelsea’s focus is to bring 3 points from Leeds headquarters. And if you look at the trend of the Blues’ performance, which has always failed to win in the last 3 matches in the EPL, coach Thomas Tuchel must be wary. Moreover, at the weekend Chelsea also has to play the FA Cup final duel against Liverpool.
“The current situation makes us more nervous. We made things more difficult for ourselves. It will take a lot of work to beat Leeds,” said Tuchel.
Predicted Lineup of Leeds United vs Chelsea
Leeds is confirmed without Luke Ayling for this midweek match. The 30-year-old defender got a red card during the match against Arsenal last weekend. Even though it was the 500th match in Ayling’s career, things didn’t go perfectly.
On the other hand, it is very interesting to see what lineup Tuchel will display. Because he is also obliged to pay attention to the fitness condition of the main squad members for the FA Cup final. The likes of Thiago Silva, Jorginho, and N’Golo Kante could have been rested.
Leeds United (4-2-3-1): Illan Meslier; Jamie Shackleton, Diego Llorente, Liam Cooper, Junior Firpo; Calvin Phillips, Mateusz Klich; Raphinha, Rodrigo Moreno, Jack Harrison; Daniel James | Coach: Jesse Marsch.
Chelsea (3-4-1-2): Edouard Mendy; Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Trevoh Chalobah; Malang Sarr, Saul Niguez, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cesar Azpilicueta; Hakim Ziyech; Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku | Coach: Thomas Tuchel.
