Michael Owen predicts scoreline of Leeds United clash v Chelsea
Michael Owen tips Chelsea to run out comfortable 2-0 winners against Leeds United on Saturday in the Premier League.
The Blues have been on a wretched run of form, failing to win any of their last three games in all competitions.
Leeds, on the other hand, have picked up four points from their last two games and go into this one on the back of some form.
Owen told Bet Victor, “I didn’t see that defeat to West Ham coming for Chelsea. To have led twice and come away from the game with nothing is very unlike Chelsea, as was the nature of the goals.
“Leeds struck late to get that equaliser against Brentford, but I do think they deserved it. They’ve got some tough fixtures ahead though, so that point is valuable.
“I expect to see a response from Chelsea here. This looks a good matchup, and I can see them winning 2-0.”
Take the game to them
Despite their injuries, Leeds must not feel like this game is not there for the taking.
Chelsea have shown they can be frail against sides like West Ham and Zenit, and the Whites can capitalise on this.
Marcelo Bielsa will set his team out the same way as he usually does and we’re expecting Leeds to start this one quick and on the front foot.
The Blues have the likes of N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Ben Chilwell missing so they’re not going to be at full strength either.
It’s certainly going to be an intriguing battle between two astute tacticians.
Anything other than a defeat will be considered a fantastic result and we believe that Leeds can get at least a draw from this.
