Leeds vs Chelsea Bet Builder: Sunday, August 21st

With another Super Sunday weekend waiting just around the corner, it means our Leeds vs Chelsea bet builder tips are not all that far away either. Tips that will focus on whether the Elland Road outfit can return to winning ways.

While they will also focus on Thomas Tuchel’s men and after they were held to a dramatic late draw by local rivals Tottenham last weekend, they will look to ease their frustration by earning maximum points in Yorkshire.

Leeds vs Chelsea Preview

Sunday, August 21st, 14:00 (UK)

Four points on the board for Leeds at the end of week two and if manager Jesse Marsch was afforded the opportunity to be critical, he may well argue the case for six. Because with the Elland Road outfit cruising at Southampton, they somehow came away without a win.

A 2-0 lead was one that eventually turned into a 2-2 draw and although a point on the road is never to be sniffed at, there is also a sense that two were dropped last Saturday. While two were certainly dropped at Stamford Bridge a day later.

Because with Chelsea largely dominating their London derby clash with Tottenham, they switched off at the very end. Yes, there may have been refereeing decisions that went against them, but Anthony Taylor was not responsible for marking Harry Kane.

Kane’s 96th-minute goal snatched a draw at Stamford Bridge and just like Leeds, the Blues only have four points to their name before this weekend’s activities. Not only that but there is certainly going to be some pent-up frustration for Thomas Tuchel and his players

This could mean rather bad news for Leeds and although they have been somewhat impressive in their opening two skirmishes, the visit of Chelsea will certainly provide their sternest test thus far.

Should Chelsea return to winning ways, it will suggest that they are certainly going to be among the runners and riders for a top-four finish. Should they fail, it may just ask questions of this club’s capabilities for the season.

With both teams registering four points from the first six on offer, there may be something of a feeling-out process on Sunday. This is why I do not envisage an early goal being scored at Elland Road.

Therefore, I have backed a draw after 10 minutes and if the action does not get underway before then, the first leg of my weekend bet builder will be ticked off. However, just because I have opted for a draw early on, does not mean I think that will be the case in the end.

I mentioned that Chelsea will be looking to take out their frustration on Leeds and I think they will manage to achieve this. Which is why the second leg of my bet builder sees the Blues marching on to victory.

Although Raheem Sterling is yet to score for his new employers, you get the feeling that the goal is coming and therefore, I am backing the former Manchester City man to score anytime.

For those, who want to take a different approach when it comes to the goal markets, Kai Havertz is also worth a look from an anytime point of view and you can get odds of 2.87 for the German to find the net.

While to complete my bet builder, I have put the referee back in the spotlight and although the last Chelsea game was a feisty affair, I only envisage no more than three total cards. Which means when you combine all these picks together, odds of 10.00 are currently on offer.
