Chelsea entered the FA Cup in the third round, defeating Preston North End 4-0 and later overcoming Aston Villa with a 3-1 victory after a 0-0 draw. However, Chelsea has faced challenges in the Premier League this season, currently sitting in eleventh place with 35 points from 25 games. Despite their struggles in the league, Chelsea has a solid home record, losing only four out of 19 home games. The team's offense has been productive, scoring 61 goals in 35 competitive games, but they lack a consistent goalscorer, with Palmer leading with twelve goals. However, Chelsea's defense has been vulnerable, conceding 47 goals this season and keeping a clean sheet only nine times. This suggests that Leeds might have opportunities to score. Leeds United, currently in second place in the Championship, had a smooth FA Cup start, winning 3-0 against Peterborough United and facing a tougher challenge against Plymouth, which they won in extra time. Leeds has a commendable away record, winning eleven of their 20 away games and remaining unbeaten in 70% of their away matches. With 75 goals in 39 games, Leeds has a potent offense, and their defense is the best in the Championship, conceding only 31 goals in 39 games. With Chelsea's home advantage countered by Leeds' strong away form and solid defense. Leeds' potent offense might pose a challenge for Chelsea's vulnerable defense but at the end individual quality of Chelsea players should be key factor for win

切尔西在足总杯第三轮以4-0击败北普雷斯顿，随后在0-0战平后以3-1战胜阿斯顿维拉，晋级足总杯。然而，切尔西本赛季在英超联赛中面临挑战，目前25场比赛积35分排在第11位。尽管切尔西在联赛中表现不佳，但他们的主场战绩稳定，在19场主场比赛中只输了4场。球队的进攻很有成效，在35场比赛中打进61球，但他们缺乏一个稳定的射手，帕尔默以12球领先。然而，切尔西的防守一直很脆弱，本赛季丢了47个球，只有9次没有失球。这表明利兹可能有机会得分。目前在英冠排名第二的利兹联队在足总杯开局顺利，3-0战胜彼得伯勒联队，并在加时赛中战胜普利茅斯，面临更严峻的挑战。利兹联的客场战绩值得称赞，他们在20场客场比赛中取得了11场胜利，并且在70%的客场比赛中保持不败。利兹联在39场比赛中打进75球，他们的进攻很强大，他们的防守是英冠中最好的，39场比赛中只丢了31球。切尔西的主场优势被利兹强大的客场状态和稳固的防守所抵消。利兹强大的进攻可能会对切尔西脆弱的防守构成挑战，但最终切尔西球员的个人素质应该是获胜的关键因素
