Marcos Alonso is another doubt for the game. On game day we have to be a combination of pragmatic, clever and tactically be sharp, defend our goal and find ways to be dangerous.” Leeds are in 18th spot, level on points with 17th placed Burnley and one point behind 16th placed Everton. Three points on Wednesday would see them go above both of their end-of-season rivals. The fixture at Elland Road last season was a tight affair, which saw the teams take a point each in a 0-0 draw.

These are insane tactics from Marsch, whatever the ultimate outcome of this match. Raphinha is playing as a wing-back. 7:54PM ...

The defence has looked more solid on occasion but part of how these players had closed the titanic talent gap between them and markedly superior squads to compete and finish ninth last season, was their ability to raid forward in waves of movement, like an upended wasp's nest. If they go for a back four, Koch would be the right-back, Struijk the left. Leeds lose the ball again but Mount fouls Bate and Leeds start again. Rodrigo currently is the central striker with James behind him and a back three with Raphinha as a wing-back. Alonso picks out mount and he could easily have scored but Leeds manage by the skin of their teeth to get in the way of his shot, throwing bodies at it. Once again he gets to the byline as if Struijk wasn't there but his cut-back is intercepted by a white shirt. Chelsea are zipping passes around defence and midfield, soaking up and hogging possession against the 10 men. He got the ball but his right leg came out like a lance and planted itself in Kovacic's calf. Marsch writes another note and sends it on to the pitch with Robin Koch the postman. Leeds wide open down their left and Meslier makes a fine save from point-blank range to thwart Pulisic, though the flag eventually goes up. Chelsea are passing the ball around easily. Chelsea sweep passes from right to left and back again, trying to open up Leeds down the inside-forward channels.

That one that doesn’t create chances? The one that doesn’t convert chances? The one with the collective unfocus?

Defeat at Elland Road. Premier League. Leeds United 0. Chelsea 3 (Mount 4', Pulisic 55', 83'). Leeds: Meslier (GK) ...

Despite Leeds’ best efforts to get forward, the man advantage for Chelsea was playing a large part in the game. Both teams came out in the second half with the same XI’s that had finished the first 45 minutes. Junior Firpo came on in place of the winger which caused a tactical shuffle amongst the back line.

Chelsea travel up to Yorkshire this evening to take on a Leeds United side scrapping for their lives towards the bottom of the Premier League table.

Chelsea go into the interval ahead. He might have got the ball but certainly left his mark. James sends Mount down the wing who swings in a cross. He raises one arm before producing a woeful attempt that trickled to the first Leeds man however. It's set to be an enthralling encounter between Leeds and Chelsea at Elland Road with plenty on the line for both teams. The striker looked like he missed his chance after a poor first touch but engineered another to finish. Lukaku - 6 Everton, meanwhile, picked up a surprise away victory on Sunday, and the Toffees are now up into 16th-place. Chelsea should have picked up all three points against Wolves at the weekend at Stamford Bridge but threw away a two-goal advantage.

"It was necessary to change things after the run we had been on, we needed to step up. The result will ease Chelsea's fears of losing grip on a place in the top four and a Champions League berth for next season. Romelu Lukaku, after missing a couple of headed chances earlier on, then got on the scoresheet late on to complete a miserable evening for Leeds fans. Lessons had not been learned as Mount was left all alone to break the deadlock. "We were very strong when it was 11 against 11, and obviously you have an advantage after their sending off. On this occasion, it was Mason Mount who found the net, after just four minutes.
