Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Premier League match between Chelsea and Leeds United at Stamford Bridge.
It's crunch time for Graham Potter. Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Tottenham last time out made it three defeats on the spin for the Londoners, who have won just two of their last 15 Premier League games and have their lowest goalscoring tally at this stage of the season since 1993-94. A win here is a must for the Blues boss to keep the wolves at bay..
Their visitors here are Leeds, who picked up a vital 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Southampton in their last match. While Javi Gracia's first game in charge of the Whites was a success, he has plenty of work to do to improve their away form. No team has picked up fewer points on the road than them in the Premier League this season.
SUBS: Marcus Bettinelli, Hakim Ziyech, Trevoh Chalobah, Denis Zakaria, Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mykhailo Mudryk, Carney Chukwuemeka.
LEEDS UNITED (4-2-3-1): Illan Meslier; Luke Ayling (c), Robin Koch, Maximilian Wober, Junior Firpo; Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie; Crysencio Summerville, Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison; Georginio Rutter.
SUBS: Pascal Struijk, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Sam Greenwood, Darko Gyabi, Joel Robles, Wilfried Gnonto, Archie Gray, Mateo Joseph.
CHELSEA (3-4-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Benoit Badiashile; Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Enzo Fernandez, Mateo Kovacic (c), Ben Chilwell; Joao Felix, Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling.
Chelsea can celebrate a narrow win over Leeds! Fofana's second-half goal from a corner proved to be the difference between two misfiring teams. The Blues were the better side overall. They weren't entirely convincing at times, but the result will ease the pressure on Potter for now.
Chelsea now turn their attentions back to Champions League action, while Leeds host Brighton and Hove Albion next week. That's all for now. Goodbye!
