Leeds United vs Chelsea: Match Preview:

Thomas Tuchel felt hugely hard done by after refereeing decisions went against his side on Sunday, which ultimately played a part in his sending off after clashing with Antonio Conte after the full-time whistle.

Still, the German will be on the touchline at Elland Road against a Leeds team who somehow let a two-goal lead slip away at Southampton last weekend.

Daniel James, who was sent off in the corresponding fixture last season, is likely to take his place in the attack, and that could prove to be the only change to the Leeds XI.

The likes of Junior Firpo, Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas all remain on the sidelines.

Chelsea:

N'Golo Kante is expected to be absent for a number of weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury against Spurs.

With Mateo Kovacic also likely to stay sidelined with a knee issue, either Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Conor Gallagher will feature in the Chelsea midfield.

Cesar Azpilicueta could return to the back three in order to allow James to return to wing-back, but Kai Havertz should retain his spot in attack with Armando Broja missing the game through a minor fitness issue.
