Third-place Chelsea look unstoppable at the moment following a run of 12 games unbeaten in all competitions, boasting the Premier League's joint-highest-scoring attack and its second-best defence.
Leeds, however, are not a team who park the bus against such opposition, and their high-octane approach could make this one an end-to-end classic.

Chelsea vs Leeds: What has been said?
Frank Lampard and Marcelo Bielsa have both moved to put their 'spygate' spat to bed ahead of the game.
Bielsa sent an intern to spy on Lampard's Derby in training in January 2019, with the Argentinian later paying an EFL fine of £200,000.
"It's in the past, I'm certainly not going to dwell on it going into this game," said Chelsea boss Lampard.
"I'd rather dwell on the respect I have for him as a coach.
"It was a great news story, it had a lot to it, and now it's gone.
"And again I just look at him and how well he did, he brought Leeds up the year after.
"They were probably the strongest Championship team the year we played them at Derby, so it was a very proud moment for myself actually to go up against him and win that game.
"But it's a game long gone now, and they are now a team in great form."
Meanwhile, Bielsa echoed those sentiments. The Leeds boss said: “This is a moment that has already gone past. It was already resolved by the authorities, who judge how these actions need to be punished.”
