"Chelsea head to Elland Road on Wednesday looking to extend a strong run of form under Enzo Maresca, who is still searching for his first competitive win over Leeds. The visitors arrive off the back of a hard-fought draw against Arsenal in the Premier League, while Leeds were left empty-handed despite pushing Manchester City all the way in a narrow 3-2 defeat."
"Chelsea matched Arsenal for intensity throughout Sunday's meeting at Stamford Bridge, even after Moises Caicedo was dismissed before half-time. Given the circumstances, the draw represented a solid return for Maresca's side, who have now gone seven matches without defeat in all competitions. Their away record has also become a real strength, with five wins and a draw from their last six away trips, including league victories at Tottenham, Burnley and Nottingham Forest."
"Chelsea begin life without Caicedo, who serves the first game of a three-match suspension. Reece James is expected to be rested after an impressive showing at the weekend, leaving Andrey Santos likely to partner Enzo Fernandez in midfield. Maresca may also look to refresh his attack, though the central pairing of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap seems the most likely combination. Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia and Mykhaylo Mudryk remain unavailable"
Chelsea travel to Elland Road aiming to build on a seven-match unbeaten run under Enzo Maresca and strong away performances this season. Chelsea drew with Arsenal despite Moises Caicedo's dismissal and have recorded five wins and a draw in their last six away matches, scoring in every away game. Leeds pushed Manchester City in a narrow 3-2 defeat but have conceded multiple goals in four straight league losses and sit in the bottom three on goals scored. Chelsea will be without suspended Caicedo; Reece James may be rested and Andrey Santos is likely to partner Enzo Fernandez. Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia and Mykhaylo Mudryk remain unavailable.
