THE FIZZ HAS GONE
Chelsea started this game really brightly with intensity and a high tempo but they have now settled into the Chelsea of recent games, the tempo has really dropped and Leeds are growing in the game. Chelsea's supporters are getting audibly frustrated.
36'
FREE KICK FOR LEEDS
Summerville does well to shimmy past Koulibaly and he is then brought down on the edge of the area. Koulibaly lucky to avoid a yellow card.

CHILWELL IN AGAIN!
Chelsea have tried to find Chilwell over and over in this match and this time a diagonal pass finds him in the box but his first time volley is wide of the target. Leeds were waiting for an offside flag but Chilwell was clearly onside.
31'
BEST CHANCE FOR LEEDS
The ball is laid off for Aaronson who strikes an effort which is blocked by a Chelsea body. Encouragement for the visitors.

70% POSSESSION
Chelsea have had 70% of the ball so far but will be disappointed to have not fashioned more clear cut chances. Felix's superb effort remains the best effort so far.
26'
KEEPING THEIR SHAPE
Leeds are having to be really patient and disciplined as they are spending large portions of the match without the ball. They've got all players back in their own half as they look to frustrate Chelsea.
24'
GREAT CHALLENGE FROM KOCH!
Ben Chilwell receives the ball in the area and as he is about to pull the trigger Koch puts in a great tackle. Chelsea are really pushing forward now.

A HUGE SAVE!
Kai Havertz with a massive chance, he runs through on goal and tries to clip it over Meslier who saves it well. That is a big, big save from the Leeds goalkeeper.

DEFENDING WELL
Leeds are doing well back in numbers to frustrate Chelsea who are forced into going side to side before losing the ball.

Fofana gets up early but powers his header over the bar. Great leap and positioning but not quite the execution.

CHELSEA'S GAMEPLAN
