Chelsea make the trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United on Wednesday evening looking to build on their performance against leaders Arsenal.
During the first half of Sunday’s blockbuster clash at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea were reduced to 10 men, but Enzo Maresca’s side were still able to earn a 1-1 draw against the Gunners.

Meanwhile, Leeds delivered their own spirited performance against Manchester City a day earlier, coming from two goals down at the Etihad Stadium before succumbing to a 3-2 defeat in added-on time.
At a time when Chelsea begin the latest matchday in third position in the Premier League table, Leeds are down in 18th spot after losing their last four top-flight fixtures.
How the bookies see it: The value is with Leeds
Despite the difference in league positions, it should not be ignored that Chelsea will have had over 24 hours less recovery time and played against Arsenal with 10 men for over 50 minutes.
Therefore, betting odds of 3/4 for a Blues win look far too short, and the draw will appeal to punters at 31/10.
Leeds also possess a solid home record for a newly-promoted team, collecting eight points from six games, and there is value in the 10/3 offered by Bet365 for a Lilywhites triumph.
