The hosts continue to worry about staying up. With three games left, Leeds have recently slipped to 18th place in relegation. Although 34 points are as many as competitor Burnley in 17th place, things could get critical at the end of the season. Chelsea, on the other hand, do not have these worries as usual. The Blues have collected 67 points from 35 games and are third behind the dominant top duo. With a five-point lead in fifth place, the Champions League is almost certain.

Leeds: Form & Record Check
The once glorious Leeds club are at risk of returning to the House of Commons just a year after their acclaimed return to the Premier League. The Whites have fallen victim to what has always been a difficult second season after promotion after a strong comeback season this year. As a result, even successful coach and icon Marcelo Bielsa had to resign when the results were no longer sustainable for a long time. Under former Leipzig coach Jesse Marsch, Leeds picked up more points again, but the situation in the table has hardly improved. The multi-million dollar project in the football-mad city is in danger of failing for the time being.

Leeds have had their ups and downs since taking over Marsch. They started with two defeats against Leicester and Aston Villa, but then followed five unbeaten games in a row. The Whites were able to win three of them, although the opponents included Watford and Norwich, who had meanwhile been relegated from the basement. In the last two games there were two more defeats against Manchester City and Arsenal. While Leeds hardly stood a chance in the 0:4 against the Skyblues, the 1:2 defeat at the Gunners was quite close. Although Arsenal led 2-0 early on and then played in the majority for a long time after Ayling's red card, the Whites made it exciting again with a goal from Llorente in the second half.

If you look at the reasons why Leeds United are struggling to stay in the Premier League, we quickly come to the goals conceded. The Peacocks have conceded 34 goals at Elland Road, the most since the 1959-60 season, at least not in the House of Lords.

Arsenal's guest appearance in London got out of hand early on last weekend. It was already 0:2 after ten minutes and Luke Ayling was sent off after less than half an hour. Still, the Peacocks fought back as best they could. More than Diego Llorente's goal was not possible, especially since that was the only real chance for Jesse Marsch's team to score.

Chelsea: Form & Record Check
The Blues have slacked off a bit this season after a strong start. As a result, they had to say goodbye to the championship race relatively early, Liverpool and City are then one step higher. Nevertheless, Chelsea have their sights set on participating in the Champions League again, where the defending champions had to give up in the quarter-finals against the furious Madrilenians. There is absolutely no disgrace this season, however, as Real have already knocked out PSG and most recently Manchester City in a number of magical matches in the premier league.

Now it's up to Chelsea in the last league games to secure the Champions League and defend third place against Arsenal. But the Londoners urgently need an upswing in form, because recently there were three winless games in a row. Chelsea drew 1-1 against a sluggish Man United before losing to Frank Lampard's relegation contenders Everton. There was another draw against Wolves last matchday, which no one at Chelsea should be happy with given the course of the game. Lukaku had given his team the lead with a quick brace, but Wolves actually equalized in the seventh minute of added time.

The biggest construction site in Chelsea could now be closed. According to reports, there is a buyer for the club. For Thomas Tuchel, that would finally mean planning security for the next season.

Marcos Alonso, who has fallen out with Thomas Tuchel and apparently wants to force a move to Barcelona, will probably no longer play for the Blues. Due to injury, the Londoners only have to do without Ben Chilwell. This means that Tuchel has some personnel options on Wednesday. Romelu Lukaku, who has been on the bench frequently this season, should be in the starting XI after his brace against Wolverhampton.

Our prediction for the game
Both teams haven't been in top form lately and can therefore use a sense of achievement. We definitely expect defensively vulnerable Leeds to concede a goal - Chelsea have also been vulnerable recently. Therefore, we recommend the "both teams to score" tip, which yields odds of 1.70 and higher. Alternatively, we see Chelsea clearly stronger, and the Blues also want to gain self-confidence for the FA Cup final. Tip 2 – Odds: 1.65
