Chelsea hosts Leeds United in round 11 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 5th at Stamford Bridge (London)
Many experts did not believe in Lampard last season, but the young coach managed to keep the team at a decent level with limited staff resources. Now Londoners have no problems with the roster, and there is worthy competition and rotation in each position. The club is among the leaders of the tournament standings and claims the champion’s title. Chelsea also plays well in the Champions League, where it has already secured a ticket to the 1/8 finals. All Chelsea’s newcomers look perfect - Thiago Silva, Chilwell, Werner, Havertz, Ziyech, and Mendy. There are practically no weak positions in the team from the personnel point of view. Even Mendy unexpectedly became the goalkeeper who gave the defenders patience and confidence, unlike the multimillion-dollar Kepa. These changes demonstrate that the London club is undergoing a robust and carefully calculated process of building a winning football project.

The long-awaited newcomer to the elite (only Nottingham Forest would be more desirable for the fans of English football) had a good start in the Premier League. Under the leadership of Bielsa, Leeds has a good future and chances to gain a foothold among the best teams in England for a long time. The Peacocks are currently in 12th place in the standings (14 points scored and a victory over strong Everton in the last round). The club has sufficient finances for quality work in the transfer market. In the last window, the management signed Koch, Elder Costa, Rafinha, Rodrigo, Llorente, and Meslier and loaned Harrison. The team leaders (Bamford, Klich, Dallas, and Phillips) show excellent football.
In the current championship, Leeds seems to be an unyielding and organized team. Bielsa is a distinguished tactician and motivator with extensive coaching experience. However, the newcomer to the Premier League is not yet ready for big achievements. Chelsea has good chances for the champion’s title, but the capital club must beat the middle peasants and outsiders of the Premier League. As for the upcoming match, Lampard's team has a clear class advantage. We think the hosts will manage to gain a confident victory.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win
