By Francisco Lecuona.
Chelsea are on the road once again to face a highly anticipated match against Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday.
The Blues are experiencing a great end-of-season form thanks to the arrival of Thomas Tuchel. The German has managed six wins and three draws in the Premier League since his arrival.
In that time, in all competitions, Chelsea only sent two goals and solidified what looked like a porous defense not too long ago.

A drop in form has seen them lose four of their last five Premier League outings. Their last loss was a 2-0 loss at the hands of West Ham.
Marcelo Bielsa’s team, however, is only one victory away from all but securing its status in the top flight. A win against all odds this weekend could be very exhilarating for them.
Thiago Silva was named to Chelsea’s bench against Everton, indicating the veteran could play a role at Leeds. Tammy Abraham, who was excluded from the team that faced Manchester United, is unable to participate due to an ankle injury. The rest of the template is available.
Leeds have shown that they are capable of conceding goals and leaving a lot of space between their center-backs and midfielders. Chelsea should take advantage of that.
If Chelsea can maintain the same possession control they had against Everton, it should be another three points in the bag for the Blues.
