The Blues will have revenge on their minds.
Chelsea welcome Leeds United At Stamford Bridge hoping to avenge the 3-1 defeat at Elland Road in December.
The Blues have won four consecutive Premier League games under Liam Rosenier and will be expected to make it five in a row despite being stuck in the reverse fixture at Elland Road.
Leeds are coming off a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest last time out, and can move nine points clear of the relegation zone by completing an unlikely double over Chelsea.
Rosenier’s men, meanwhile, will be hoping to take another step towards Champions League qualification for next season. They are a game behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who visit West Ham in an 8:15pm kick-off.
