Farke should rely on the trident Aaronson-Nmecha-Gnonto. In the midfield, out the injured Longstaff: so room for Gruev along with Ampadu and Tanaka. Defense headed by the’former Udinese Bijol.

On the opposite front Maresca will have to give up the disqualified Caicedo and the injured Lavia, Badiashile and Colwill. In the midfield, Andrey Santos is ready, flanked by Enzo Fernández, with Estevao, Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto Garnacho making up the line of trequartists behind the lone striker Delap.

The team will be in the middle.

Leeds (4-3-3): Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Gruev, Ampadu, Tanaka; Aaronson, Nmecha, Gnonto. Coach: Farke.

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Malo Gusto, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella; James, Santos; Estevao, Fernandez, Garnacho; Joao Pedro. Coach: Maresca.
