TEAM NEWS
Leeds United welcome back Jamie Shackleton following a muscular injury, while Robin Koch is set to feature for the under-23 team.
Pascal Struijk, Pablo Hernandez and Adam Forshaw remain out.
Chelsea have no new fitness concerns for the trip to Elland Road, with Tammy Abraham set to miss a fifth match because of an ankle injury.
Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell and Olivier Giroud could return but Thiago Silva remains out.
Chelsea are going great guns - they are now unbeaten in 11 games since Thomas Tuchel took charge, and they were just too good for Everton on Monday night.
Leeds, in contrast, have not been on a great run of form recently, with just one win in five league games. I don't think they've been playing that badly though, and they will definitely test Chelsea's improved defence.

They all sign up to the pain and the privilege, home and away. Get the point though , and still say we should play all our home fixtures at away ground if possible, and if not then at alternative local grounds.Originally Posted by cherrypie7

Roberts staring ahead of Rodrigo (or even Klich or Shackleton)?
Give me strength.

There's only so much loyalty he can give Roberts to come good.

Yep agree, However we do not see what MB does in training do we, The lad is still young and MB clearly believes in him like he has believed in many mediocre players and turned them into very good players, Based on recent games my own opinion is not sure how he has warranted a place in the team, But will support whoever puts the shirt on..

And Roberts hits the bar, he was nearly a hero for a moment - frigging offside earlier will be our undoing

Pitch not too bad compared to what I feared.
Forcing it and losing possession too much

Such a Leeds thing - best passing team we have in ages and worst pitch in the league
