Two unbeaten teams so far this season Leeds United and Chelsea lock horns with each other at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon in what should make for an exciting Premier League fixture.
Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea started the season off with a narrow 1-0 win over Everton and looked set for a second win on the run last time around against Tottenham Hotspur before Harry Kane’s leveler in the last seconds of the derby.
It was a fiercely contested affair at home against Spurs with both managers, Tuchel and Antonio Conte, getting into a heated altercation as they were shown red cards at the full time whistle.
After last weekend’s 2-2 outing, the Blues will look to bounce back and return to winning ways against a Leeds side that gave up a two-goal lead away at Southampton last time around.

TEAM NEWS
Chelsea’s midfield general N’Golo Kante is expected to be sidelined for a number of weeks after picking up a hamstring injury against Spurs while Mateo Kovacic also likely to stay absent with a knee issue.
Skipper Cesar Azpilicueta could be in line for a return to the back three for the visitors which allows Reece James to slot in the right wing-back role.
MATCH PREDICTION
Chelsea are the stronger of the two teams and if the players turn out at their best, a thumping win could well be on the cards for the west Londoners.
Leeds United 0-3 Chelsea
