Tenth placed Chelsea host Leeds United hoping to end their dismal run. The visitors are 17th in the Premier League, one place above the relegation zone. After spending a ridiculous amount of money on players, Chelsea find themselves only ten points above the bottom three and 14 behind the final Champions League spot. It's been a pretty disastrous time and new coach Potter needs to be a wizard to escape the mess Chelsea are in. A form guide for the last 15 league games has them in 17th place with just 12 points earned. They come into this game with no wins in their last five Premier League fixtures and just one goal scored. Home form has seen just eight points earned from their last seven at Stamford Bridge and just one goal in the last four. Each of the last seven home league games has seen under 2.5 goals scored. Only four goals have been conceded in those matches.

Leeds United lost at Fulham in midweek exiting the FA Cup at the fifth round stage. Now they can concentrate on the Premier League where they are again in relegation trouble. United are only a point ahead of the bottom three but did win their last league fixture. That was a vital 1-0 home win over fellow strugglers Southampton. The win ended a run of ten league games without a victory in which only six goals had been scored. Away form has been poor this season with just one win at Liverpool in 12 league fixtures. Only Nottingham Forest have a worse away record in the Premier League.Only a couple of points have been earned from the last six away league matches. Five of their last six matches in the Premier League have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. We feel another low scoring game is on the cards here.
