LU vs CHE Dream11: Chelsea will be aiming to continue their unbeaten start to life under Thomas Tuchel when they face Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday. Leeds are low on confidence and perhaps suffering from a case of physical fatigue having lost their most recent two Premier League fixtures. The visitors will hope to take advantage and maintain their excellent run under head coach Thomas Tuchel, who is unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions since taking charge at the Blues. That run doesn’t look like ending in Yorkshire and Chelsea draw no bet looks the smart play as the visitors look to take advantage of the space likely afforded to them in the opposition half as Leeds look to admirably enforce their attacking style of play on the contest.

Likely Winner:
Leeds have shown they are susceptible to conceding goals and leaving lots of space between their central players and midfielders. Chelsea should capitalize on that. If they can maintain the same control of possession as they did against Everton, it should be another three points in the bag for the Blues. In our LU vs CHE Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 2-0 win for the Blues in this match.
