Leeds - Chelsea prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 3, 2025
One of the fixtures of the 14th round of the English Premier League will take place on Wednesday at Elland Road in Leeds, where the local side Leeds will host London’s Chelsea. I’m offering a bet on this clash with promising odds for success.
Match preview
The hosts were on the verge of causing an upset in the previous round, but ultimately fell to Manchester City in the dying moments. This defeat marked Leeds’ fourth consecutive loss, and the team remains in the relegation zone. Their defense deserves particular attention — Leeds have conceded in each of their last ten matches, and more often than not, they've let in two or more goals per game.
Nevertheless, Leeds remain a real threat in attack, especially on home turf, where the club has scored in 13 of their last 14 games. The team rarely keeps a clean sheet, but they’re capable of troubling even the favorites. At home, Daniel Farke’s men usually show plenty of character, and a goal from them looks quite likely.
The Londoners saw their winning streak come to an end last round, playing out a draw with Arsenal. Despite dropping points, Chelsea have maintained positive momentum and remain one of the most prolific sides this season. They've found the net in every league match for 12 consecutive games now, underlining their consistent attacking power.
On the road, Chelsea look very confident — just one defeat in seven away matches, with five victories. The team rarely allows opponents to score more than once. Against an inconsistent Leeds, the Blues will be eager to get back to winning ways, especially since their opponents allow far too many chances at the back.
Probable lineups
- Leeds: Perry, Bogle, Rodon, Ampadu, Justin, Struijk, Tanaka, Gruev, James, Nmecha, Gnonto
- Chelsea: Sanchez, Gusto, Chalobah, James, Cucurella, Fernandez, Fofana, Joao Pedro Jesus, Neto, Caicedo, Estevan
Match facts and head-to-head
- Leeds have scored in 13 of their last 14 home Premier League matches
- Chelsea have won 5 of their last 7 away league games
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Leeds’ previous 9 matches
Prediction
Leeds are having serious defensive issues and can’t stop even the lower-ranked teams. But going forward, they’re quite effective, especially at home, where they almost always find a way to score. Chelsea, meanwhile, are consistent in attack and strong away from home. Considering all of the above, the most logical choice looks to be a combination bet — ‘Chelsea not to lose and over 1.5 goals’ at odds of 1.55.
