Chelsea vs Leeds: Possible prediction

Chelsea will host Leeds United in a must-win game this weekend at Stamford Bridge as it could determine whether Graham Potter would be sacked or stay put.

The Blues head to the game after their weekend defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Ahead of this weekend’s match, former Arsenal star Paul Merson has predicted the Blues to emerge winners.

“It’s a huge game. This is not really the game that Chelsea’s focus is on,” Merson wrote in his Sportskeeda predictions column.

“They have to beat Dortmund next week in the Champions League. But surely, they’ve got to win this one against Leeds United. Tottenham Hotspur put them to the sword last weekend.

“It’s such a tough game for Chelsea but I back them to win this one. They’ve won just two of their last 16 matches. That’s appalling for a club of Chelsea’s stature. They must win this one.

“In my opinion, Graham Potter’s future will be decided on Tuesday after the game against Dortmund. It’s the only competition the Blues are in right now. Who will replace him? People say Pochettino might. But he used to manage Tottenham Hotspur and that could make him a no-go.”
