CHE vs LU Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Premier League fixture Chelsea vs Leeds United 5 December

CHE vs LU Dream11 Team Prediction: Chelsea will be looking to potentially occupy the top spot in the Premier League by beating Leeds United at Stamford Bridge. The Londoners have been having an excellent time and have been unbeaten in their last 15 games with 9 wins so far. They are 3rd in the Premier League, just 2 points off leaders, Tottenham Hotspur, and second-placed Liverpool. They are coming into this game on the back of an impressive 4-0 win over Sevilla with an excellent display from Olivier Giroud. Leeds too have had a great 1-0 win over Everton and a 0-0 draw against Arsenal which they will feel like they should have won. They find themselves in 12th place, just 4 points off the Champions League spots. Leeds haven’t been very convincing of late and will not mind another scrapped result against a side like Chelsea. Taking points against one of the top sides will be a challenge for Marcelo Bielsa and it will be interesting to see how they approach this game.

CHE vs LU Starting XI, Team News, Match Prediction

A) Chelsea Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Frank Lampard has no injuries and has a full squad to choose from for the CHE vs LU Dream 11 Prediction.

Expected changes: Olivier Giroud scored an impressive 4 goals to power Chelsea to a 4-0 win over Sevilla and should have secured his spot in this side with Tammy Abraham making way. Giroud should find Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech on either side on him, up-front. Reece James, Kurt Zouma, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell should keep their place in the backline ahead of Edouard Mendy. Mason Mount should lead the midfield with N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic operating from a slightly deeper role. Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic were impressive against Sevilla but should be rested for their game against Krasnodar.

Injury Report, Unavailability: Adam Forshaw, Gaetano Berardi, Jamie Shackleton and Pablo Hernandez are all unavailable with injuries and will not feature in this game.

Doubtful: Diego Llorente has a groin injury and faces a late fitness test to see if he will make it for the game against Chelsea.

Expected changes: Marcelo Bielsa is unlikely to toggle with a side that just beat Everton last weekend. Illan Meslier will start in goal, behind Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas. Kalvin Phillips should start in his defensive midfield position behind a 4-man midfield of Raphinha, Mateusz Klich, Jack Harrison and Ezgjan Alioski. Patrick Bamford has been in amazing form this season and will continue to spearhead the attack.
