Chelsea vs Leeds United

Graham Potter and his new signings do not have much time to spark a turnaround, with a win against Leeds United more important than ever.

Leeds United's Javi Gracia led The Whites to an important 1-0 victory against fellow relegation battlers Southampton in his debut game in-charge. Potter's side haven't won any of their last five games in the Premier League, with their previous win in the league coming way back on 15th January, when they beat Crystal Palace 1-0. Graham Potter hasn't delivered after Thomas Tuchel's sacking, and it goes without saying that he might be on the brink of facing a similar fate as his predecessor if he doesn't turn things around.

Of course Chelsea suppose win am, but I don dey tok say most weeks about Graham Potter side and I bin dey wrong to think dem go start playing better. Di Yorkshire club bin win di reverse fixture 3-0 for Elland Road in August and dey seek to complete a first league double over Chelsea since dia title-winning season in 1991-92. Leeds last win for Stamford Bridge na 2-0 Premier League victory for 1999 - Stephen McPhail bin score both goals and Chris Sutton dey for di Chelsea line-up.

Here are the Chelsea player ratings against Leeds United as Wesley Fofana scored from a corner to give Chelsea a much needed win.

The former Manchester City winger was proving to be a nightmare for Firpo as he was marauding forward from the right flank and creating chances and constantly looking dangerous. The German was decent, getting into the spaces but he still looked underwhelming in front of the goal. Enzo Fernandez looked dynamic, precise and omnipresent as he was an integral part of running the show in the Chelsea midfield. Kovacic was taken off in the second half as Carney Chukwuemeka came on. Chilwell registered an assist as his corner was put in the back of the net by Fofana. It was another superb display for the Argentine as he continues to grow and make a mark since signing for Chelsea in January. The Englishman wasn’t actively involved but had a few moments in the second half where he pushed in the attack. Kalidou Koulibaly, playing in the centre of the defence was robust and dominant, winning balls and making important blocks. Badiashile was brilliant playing in the back three, looking courageous and making important interventions. Wesley Fofana, playing on the left side of the back three, looked composed and was useful at both ends of the pitch. Wesley Fofana scored from a corner to end Chelsea’s goal drought as the Blues scored their first goal in 397 minutes of football. Chelsea came close to scoring in the first half but once again the lack of killer touch to let them down.

Luke Ayling crossed into box and Rutter met it with a powerful volley, only to see Kalidou Koulibaly be well-placed to block as it looked to be going into the back of the net. One final chance came and went before the whistle. No changes were made for the start of the second half at Stamford Bridge as both teams came back out looking for an opener. From a corner of their own, Leeds came close to responding instantly. Raheem Sterling broke forward and played Kai Havertz into the box, he composed himself before firing at goal, only to see Illan Meslier stand tall to deny him the opener. The home side started the brighter at Stamford Bridge and were on the attack early.
