Consistency will ultimately determine how far this Chelsea team can go under Enzo Maresca this season, because they proved last week that their apex will allow them to thrive against Europe’s best.
The Blues are unbeaten in seven games since losing at home to Sunderland, and although they were unable to reduce the deficit on Premier League leaders Arsenal at the weekend, the nature of their performance, having lost Moisés Caicedo to a red card in the first half, highlighted their impressive evolution with Maresca in charge.
Animosity with Leeds United dates back to the 1960s, when they were competing for First Division glory, and the 1970 FA Cup final, which was won by Chelsea after a replay, ranks among the most infamous matches in English football history.
Elland Road will be expecting a thunderous showing from Daniel Farke’s out-of-form Whites under the lights, with Chelsea hoping to avoid a loss of points that’d stifle the momentum they gained from last week’s work.
Here’s how you can tune into Wednesday’s Premier League clash across the globe.
