On Tuesday evening, at 19:30 GMT/14:30 ET, Chelsea will host old foes Leeds United for match day 26 of the Premier League season. 

Although there is no Champions League football for the Blues until March, there really is no rest for the wicked. Liam Rosenior's side defeated Wolves on Saturday and will then travel to Hull City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday night. 

So, what can we expect from Leeds as the hectic schedule continues? 

The visitors have been one of the surprise packages of the Premier League season so far. Tipped by many to go down, Daniel Farke's side have overperformed expectations, currently sitting in 15th place, level on points with Spurs, and with a six-point buffer on the relegation zone. 

One of the best signings - at least pound-for-pound - in the league this season has been Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who joined on a free transfer after leaving Everton in the summer. The 28-year-old has found the net 10 times this season, a tally that can only be bettered by three players across the whole league. 

Back in December, Farke changed the system, reverting to a three-at-the-back formation. Since then, Leeds have only lost twice - once in the last second away to Newcastle United, and once to league leaders, Arsenal. 

The second game of this current impressive run was a 3-1 victory at home to Chelsea, so the club knows only too well just how effective they have been since this change in system.

Changing to a wing-back system has allowed Jayden Bogle more license to get forward down the right hand side, and he scored with a calm left footed finish last time out against Nottingham Forest, having been well found by central midfielder Ilia Gruev with a ball in behind. 

At the back, Farke seems to have settled with a back three of James Justin, Joe Rodon, and Pascal Struijk. Some will remember the form Justin showed a few years ago for Leicester City, being part of the side that won the FA Cup and regularly qualified for the World Cup. He was rewarded with his England debut back in 2022. 

Despite not being very popular with the Elland Road faithful, Brenden Aaronson has been effective as one of the number tens behind Calvert-Lewin, and many will recollect his goal from barely even a yard out against Chelsea in 2022. 

No doubt about it, this will be a tough game. With Leeds' strong record at home, especially under the lights, it is hugely beneficial for Chelsea that this game is at Stamford Bridge.
