Chelsea v Leeds Utd Saturday 5th December 20:00| Stamford Bridge Leeds face an in form Chelsea side on Saturday evening as the Whites look to break their win-less hoodoo in England's Capital, that will have effected them four days shy of their three year anniversary. This was the last time that Leeds won a game in London, courtesy of a Kemar Roofe hat-trick at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, better known as Loftus Road. When you consider how many London clubs Leeds have faced, the statistic is horrifying. Marcelo Bielsa has no new injury worries, but must decide whether to keep record signing Rodrigo benched, if not who would he drop? Sources at the club indicate that Llorente is fit. This being the case, should he be eased in gradually or throw him in at the deep end. He's the most expensive defender we have; surely that should mean he deserves minutes? Frank Lampard must decide whether Giroud has earned a rare league start? The Frenchman netted all four goals midweek against Savilla. The Blues currently sit third in the Premiership, two points from the top. The only team they have lost to this season are Liverpool, back in September. A win for the Blues could send them top. A win for Leeds should elevate them to the top 10.
Morning all.This is the one game in the season that we would like to win above all others. Whatever the result the Chelsea team will be tired after 90 minutes.
The first 15 mins shall be critical, we need to come out of the traps and put Chelsea on the back foot from the off, don’t give silly free kicks and corners away due to them being strong at set pieces, try to nick a goal and see if numb nuts Lampard can sort it out..... I think not.
Fecking hate chelsea ever since those FA cup ties and I still hate them, although not as much as the scum...
I’m looking for a win Don’t like Chelsea and never have Even more so since that cretinous idiot fat fwank took over can just imagine his excuses if we win
Hard to say how the **** much he irritates me, sadly I can’t see us breaking the London hoodoo in this one. ****er got to spend a lot of money in the summer.
Can't see us breaking the hoodoo here either, Chelsea have basically bought the title with the amount of obscene money they have spent,And guess who will get the credit if they do win the title fat Frank, christ it makes my blood boil anyone here on this board could manage Chelsea me included with that kind of spending power,but the pundits will be saying what a genius fat Frank is
Which is why, much to the mainstream media annoyance, Marcelo was shortlisted in the top five coaches of the year. I know I’m (hugely) biased and the Bayern coach won an amazing amount of trophies, but our man ‘coached’ a mid table bunch of championship players into a team that could go toe-to-toe with Man City and Liverpool, no parachute payments, no superstars, so I get the trophies as a measure but should that mean you have had a better achievement as a coach.
Chill out gang I’ve had the tea leaves out. Ayling is going to score a corker from outside the box. Not sure where the other three are coming from but our goal difference goes up by two, because, unfortunately Chelsea get two.
Just seen on twitter a Chelsea fan expecting us to park the bus for 90 minutes but expects them to break us down and get 3. Why is it the most unintelligent with the most to say? This moron has clearly never watched leeds in the last few years. Now it may only be me but if i don't know about something i tend not to offer my opinion on something.
We wouldn't even park the bus if we were winning 1-0 with 10 minutes remaining so that twat is talking out of his arse, and as you say, has obviously never seen Leeds play.
