Chelsea vs Leeds predictions and betting tips: Blues fancied at the Bridge

Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Carabao Cup tie below.

Premium Tips

Andy is with Chelsea, whose strength in depth should tell.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Estevao to score anytime15/8Estevao is a proven goalscorer despite his tender years, with eight goals already for Chelsea and 14 in his Palmeiras days, hitting the target regularly along the way. Chelsea are likely to rotate their squad for this League Cup tie at Stamford Bridge, which should hand the young Brazilian a start and plenty of attacking freedom. Against a Leeds side that will also shuffle its pack, Estevao carries a genuine goal threat in front of his home crowd, so backing him to score anytime shapes up as a smart play at the Bridge.
Jayden Bogle to booked9/4Jayden Bogle has already been booked once in just three Premier League appearances this season, committing three fouls as an attacking full-back who can be caught out defensively. A League Cup tie against Chelsea’s quick, tricky forwards is exactly the sort of game where an overlapping defender gets dragged into fouls and late challenges. With Bogle set to face a stream of one-on-one duels down his flank at Stamford Bridge, the Leeds man looks a live candidate to be shown a yellow card.

How Chelsea go into the game

Chelsea were beaten 1-2 at Arsenal last time out but boast enormous strength in depth. Stamford Bridge should see a much-changed side progress.

Loaded with quality throughout the squad, Chelsea will fancy a comfortable evening. Progress is the aim.

How Leeds go into the game

Leeds drew 1-1 at Brighton last time out, a battling Premier League point. They travel to west London as underdogs.

Well-organised and spirited, Leeds will look to spring a cup surprise. A famous win is the aim.
