Leeds take on the visitors Chelsea in the postponed round 33 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 11th at Elland Road (Leeds)
In the end of the winter, when the team suffered several major defeats, and was in imminent danger of getting stuck in a dangerous zone, the project management decided to send Bielsa into retirement. They decided to replace him with Jesse Marsh - a controversial option, because the American did not work in England and last fall failed at RB Leipzig. He made an unsuccessful debut in Albion, but from mid-March a pleasant series began. It turned out to beat Norwich, Wolves, Watford, there were also draws with Southampton and Crystal Palace - all this helped to strengthen the chances of survival. But then there was a trip to Manchester City, and 4 goals conceded. Yes, and a motivated Arsenal was able to win 2-1 against a fighter for survival.

Chelsea managed to find new owners before the summer. This is an important result for the prospects of the club. In the Premier League, Chelsea were clearly trying to compete for the title - it was not in vain that they took Lukaku for record money. But in the end, already in the winter it became clear that neither Liverpool nor Manchester City could be overtaken. And now the team is completely finishing the championship by inertia. Hence the frankly mediocre results at the finish line. In the last 7 rounds, there are fewer wins than losses, 2 against 3. On Saturday, Tuchel's guys led by 2 goals after Romelu's double, but in the end ended in a draw at home with Wolverhampton.
Chelsea have won both home head-to-head matches since Leeds' return to the Premier League, scoring 3 goals each. But there was a goalless draw at Elland Road last season. Leeds still can't use Bamford and half a dozen other players. Chelsea now not only have Chilwell and Hudson-Odoi injured, but also Jorginho and Kante. Bookmakers are confident in the victory of Chelsea. But at the same time, Leeds will fight to the last - we recommend betting on total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
