Chelsea vs Leeds United Prediction and Betting Tips | March 4th 2023
Chelsea will host Leeds United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday in another round of the Premier League campaign.
The home side have endured a very difficult campaign, with manager Graham Potter now running out of time to save his job. They were beaten 2-0 by city rivals Tottenham Hotspur in their last game and could have no complaints after managing just one shot in the opposition box throughout the game.
Chelsea sit mid-table in 10th place with 31 points from 24 games. They will be looking to shake off their abysmal form and get their campaign back on track on Saturday.
Leeds have not fared much better than their opponents this season and are battling for Premier League survival. They picked up a 1-0 win over Southampton in their first game under new boss Javi Gracia last weekend before suffering a 2-0 defeat to Fulham in the FA Cup on Tuesday.
