Chelsea vs. Leeds United – Prediction and Betting Tips | Feb 28, 2024
Chelsea and Leeds United are set to face off in a highly anticipated FA Cup fifth-round match at Stamford Bridge on February 28, 2024, at 7.30pm UK time. Following a narrow defeat in the EFL Cup final, Chelsea, under Mauricio Pochettino’s leadership, seeks redemption and a return to winning ways. Leeds United, on the other hand, enters the fray buoyed by a remarkable victory over Championship leaders Leicester City, under the guidance of Daniel Farke. This encounter promises not just a battle for a quarter-final berth but a test of resilience for Chelsea and a chance for Leeds to cause a major upset.
Match Preview and Analysis
Chelsea’s journey to the fifth round saw them overcoming Preston North End and Aston Villa with notable performances, despite their recent dip in form at Stamford Bridge. The Blues’ FA Cup pedigree and their record of advancing past this stage in six of the last eight seasons speak volumes of their potential to go deep in the tournament. However, their recent EFL Cup final loss to Liverpool, marked by a lack of cutting edge, has left the squad and fans disheartened, raising questions about their ability to bounce back immediately.
Leeds United’s road to Stamford Bridge has been marked by their impeccable form in the Championship, winning all their matches since the turn of the year. Their FA Cup journey, albeit less straightforward with a replay required against Plymouth Argyle, has showcased their fighting spirit and tactical flexibility under Farke. The Whites’ last-gasp victory over Leicester highlighted their never-say-die attitude and attacking prowess, essential qualities for a cup upset.

Team News
Chelsea’s squad depth is tested with several key players sidelined due to injury, including Thiago Silva and Marc Cucurella, who are doubtful for the clash. The potential inclusion of Robert Sanchez and a reshuffled lineup featuring Trevoh Chalobah and Noni Madueke could provide fresh impetus for the Blues.
Leeds United’s injury concerns are similarly challenging, with key defensive figures absent. The potential return of Sam Byram could bolster the defence, while the attacking threat could be led by Daniel James, whose availability adds a dynamic edge to Leeds’ forward line.
Prediction
Goal.mu/Mauri.bet predicts: Chelsea 2-1 Leeds United odds at 19.00 bet365
This prediction is grounded in Chelsea’s strong FA Cup history and the quality within their ranks, despite recent setbacks.
