Chelsea have won 31 points playing as the team playing at home. Leeds United have claimed 22 points playing away. Should we expect a home win?
- Leeds United have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
The visiting Leeds United played their last game only four days ago, a FA Cup match. That game was also an away game, at Fulham. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Chelsea form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Chelsea have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games.
Chelsea are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 254 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Félix).
Chelsea lost their last game at Tottenham Hotspur (placed 4th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Midfielder Fernández was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.15 (out of ten) in that game. Fernández hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 103 successful passes (of 116 total).
Before that game, the home loss against Southampton with the scoreline 0-1.It should be considered that a look at the 12 most recent league fixtures shows that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Chelsea as they have a new game in only three days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Borussia Dortmund are visiting.
Chelsea are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Chelsea are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stamford Bridge in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 11 matches.
Leeds United form and stats

Two away matches in a row for Leeds United, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 against Fulham in the FA Cup.
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Southampton in the Premier League.Leeds have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. Leeds United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
