Very strong call made on Leeds United clash at Chelsea amid Blues threats
Leeds United take on Chelsea in a 7.30pm kick-off at Stamford Bridge.
A very strong call has been made on Leeds United’s Tuesday night clash at Chelsea amid a host of big Blues threats.
Daniel Farke’s Whites subjected the Blues to a 3-1 defeat in December’s reverse fixture at Elland Road and now head to Stamford Bridge having lost just one of their last 12 league games.
The bookies, though, have made a very strong call on Chelsea’s chances, fully expecting the Blues to exact their revenge with a victory on home soil against Farke’s Whites.
Despite United’s win at Elland Road and fine recent form, the bookies have made Chelsea very strong odds-on favourites for this evening’s contest in being no bigger than 6-11 but as short as 1-2 with some firms.
Leeds can be backed at 11-2 to leave with all three points and even the draw is in offer at 18-5.
The fit-again Cole Palmer is seen as the chief threat for Chelsea among four Blues players leading the way in the any time scorer market.
Palmer is just 6-4 to score, marginally ahead of Joao Pedro at 8-5. Marc Guiu is then only 17-10 with a few firms, followed by Liam Delap at 21-10.
Whites no 9 Dominic Calvert-Lewin is next at 5-2 but four more Chelsea players follow in Pedro Neto (11-4), Estevao (14-5), Enzo Fernandez (29-10) and Alejandro Garnacho (3s).
Leeds trio Joel Piroe (15-4), Lukas Nmecha (4s) and Noah Okafor (23-5) are next.
