Chelsea face Leeds United at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening, aiming to extend their winning streak under manager Liam Rosenior. The Blues have secured four straight Premier League victories, while Leeds seek to build on their recent 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest. Both sides enter the match with positive momentum amid the tight midweek schedule.
Chelsea host Leeds United in a Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, with kick-off at 19:30 GMT. Under new manager Liam Rosenior, Chelsea have won all four of their league matches since his appointment, including a recent victory over Wolves. Rosenior praised Leeds' forward-thinking style, noting their effective use of strengths like Dominic Calvert-Lewin's movement and strong counter-pressing. "They’re very forward-thinking," Rosenior said. "When I say they’re direct, I mean it in a really positive way. They use their strengths."
Leeds, managed by Daniel Farke, are six points clear of the relegation zone after a 3-1 home win against Nottingham Forest, marking seven points from their last four games. Farke downplayed their earlier 3-1 victory over Chelsea in December as a turning point but emphasized the need for focus away from home. "To win a game in that way is why we have worked so hard over the last two-and-a-half years, but the result won’t help us [at Chelsea]," Farke stated. He also commended Rosenior's promising start, calling him a "very, very talented manager."
Team news sees Chelsea potentially without Reece James due to illness, alongside hamstring issues for Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo, Jamie Gittens, and Tosin Adarabioyo. Filip Jorgensen is doubtful, Levi Colwill has a long-term knee injury, and Mykhailo Mudryk remains suspended. For Leeds, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ilia Gruev may return, but Pascal Struijk is doubtful with a hip problem, and Anton Stach is out.
Predicted lineups include Robert Sanchez in goal for Chelsea, with Cole Palmer leading the attack alongside Pedro Neto. Leeds are expected to start Karl Darlow, featuring Brenden Aaronson, Daniel James, and Calvert-Lewin up front. Historically, Chelsea are unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Leeds, winning six straight since 1999.
The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 4 in the UK via the Discovery Plus app. Analysts predict a Chelsea victory, with Leeds struggling on the road, having won just one of 12 away league games this season.
