What channel is Chelsea v Leeds on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Chelsea and Leeds clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening in a tantalising fixture live on TV and online.
Chelsea welcome back old rivals Leeds United to Stamford Bridge for the first time since May 2004, with Marcelo Bielsa’s men hoping to rumble the Londoners here.
Chelsea sit third in the table heading into the weekend, having excelled in their recent run of Premier League fixtures.
Yet, while the Blues have lost just once all season, a run of two draws from their last three outings is something boss Frank Lampard will want to correct.
And the title-chasers are set for a long evening against a Leeds side that have kept up the intensity all season so far.
Leeds love to attack with precision and defend in packs – and Chelsea will have to be on their guard as Bielsa plots a Saturday night plundering of the Bridge.

Chelsea v Leeds team news
Chelsea: Ben Chilwell was rested for Chelsea’s midweek game with Sevilla due to a turned ankle but could come back into the XI here. Christian Pulisic may keep his place after returning from a hamstring issue on Wednesday.
Billy Gilmour could well make an appearance off the bench, while Lampard will make a decision on starting Olivier Giroud after the France international bagged all four goals in Seville.
Leeds: Pablo Hernandez may still be sidelined for this weekend’s clash, while Diego Llorente is yet to make an appearance for his new side.
Winger Jack Harrison is the big injury concern for Bielsa but Rodrigo could come into the XI if the Manchester City loanee doesn’t pass a fitness test. Patrick Bamford and Raphinha should again provide most of the attacking danger.
Our prediction: Chelsea v Leeds
Chelsea cruised to victory over Sevilla in midweek but will have to be wary of Leeds’ attacking prowess on Saturday. The game could come down to who wins the midfield battle, with N’Golo Kante likely to press Leeds distributor Kalvin Phillips.
Chelsea have blown hot and cold up front so far this term, while Leeds have kept it tight over their last two outings.
We can expect chances on Saturday but possibly not too many goals. The likes of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz could nudge the game in Chelsea’s favour, but Leeds can’t be overlooked.
Our prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Leeds
