Chelsea hosts Leeds United at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, aiming to extend their winning streak in the Premier League under Liam Rosenior.

The Blues are currently fifth in the standings, just one point behind the top four. Since taking charge, Rosenior has transformed the team, winning his first four league games. Chelsea comes into this match after a strong victory over Wolves, where Cole Palmer scored a record-setting first-half hat-trick. A win would put Chelsea in the Champions League spots and help them bounce back from a 3–1 loss at Elland Road earlier this season.

Rosenior faces challenges with several key players injured. Levi Colwill will be out long-term due to a knee injury. Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah will lead the defense. Jamie Gittens and Tosin Adarabioyo are also unavailable because of hamstring issues. On a positive note, captain Reece James may return to the bench after missing the last two matches.

Robert Sánchez will start in goal, with Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella in defense. In midfield, Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo will aim to control the play. Cole Palmer will take on the number ten role, and he recently made history as the first player to score three first-half hat-tricks in Premier League history. João Pedro will lead the attack, supported by Estêvão Willian and Pedro Neto on the wings. Chelsea also looks to end a midweek winless streak, as they have not secured a victory in night matches this season.
