Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea and Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face each other at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, and the lineups are now out.

Chelsea will head into the match as favourites, although manager Thomas Tuchel is well aware of the intensity with which the game will be played.

The Blues are aiming to win the Premier League title this season and are doing well at the moment.

Chelsea are fighting for the title with Liverpool and Manchester City.

Both Liverpool and Manchester City are in action in the Premier League today.

So, Chelsea will know that they cannot afford any slip-ups against Leeds at home.

Meanwhile, Leeds have started to do better and pick up points.

The Whites are still very much in the Premier League relegation battle, but things are improving for Bielsa’s side.

However, Leeds have been badly affected by injures, with Kalvin Phillips now on the sidelines.

Chelsea will fancy their chances.

This is how Chelsea and Leeds will line up for the Premier League game at Stamford Bridge in London today:
