Chelsea vs Leeds Prediction (09.09.2026)

Chelsea had a tough match against Arsenal over the weekend, resulting in their first loss of the season with a score of 1:2 away. Alonso will certainly make some rotations now for the cup match. Chelsea already had one match in this tournament, winning 2:0 at home against Luton, but now faces a tougher challenge with a representative from the Premier League. The team scores goals but also concedes them, at least so far in the league. We will see what the situation will be in the upcoming match.

Leeds has been quite a tough opponent lately. This was also the case at the end of last season. This season, they have already played four matches across all competitions and have yet to lose. In one of them, specifically for the Carabao Cup, they won 2:0 away against Nottingham. On Sunday, they had a challenging visit to Brighton but managed to take a point after a 1:1 draw.

Two teams that seem to be performing better compared to last season. I think Leeds can still put up a fight in this match, where it wouldn't be surprising if both teams score.
