Leeds v Chelsea Betting Tips [11 May 2022]

Leeds United continue their bid to avoid a return to the Championship. They are 18th and in the bottom three after the weekend fixtures and host Chelsea who are in third place. Leeds lost 2-1 away at Arsenal on Sunday, their second defeat in a row. The defeat left them.in the relegation zone on goal dfiference from Burnley and a point adrift of Everton who have a game in hand. Leeds have a -35 goal difference, compare to the -17 of Burnley and -19 for Everton. United have two home Premier League games to play. After this, they host in-form Brighton and Hove Albion, with a final day away match at Brentford. If they are to survive then at least three points are needed from their final two home fixtures. Leeds have only won one of their last seven home league games and that was against relegated Norwich City. In four of their last six home league fixtures, United have conceded at least three goals. Up against Chelsea, their fragile defence may again have problems.

Chelsea are five points clear of fifth placed Tottenham with three games remaining but only a point above Arsenal who are fourth. They should still make it into the 2022/23 Champions League, especially with the fourth and fifth placed teams facing each other this week. Chelsea would be a bit closer to confirming a top four finish if they hadn't drawn at home with Wolves on Saturday. They led 2-0 going into the 79th minute but ended up drawing 2-2. This is their final game before the FA Cup final but they will still have to field a strong line-up. Chelsea have won 11 away league games this season but only have one point from the last two.They had scored 13 goals in the three previous league matches (plus three in Madrid) and should be able to get an away win.
