Did you know?
Of all Premier League sides to have played in more than one season, Chelsea have the best win-rate in home matches against promoted sides, with 82 per cent, after 68 wins in 83 contests. The Blues have lost just three such matches in the competition.
Chelsea are unbeaten in eight PL matches, with only Spurs having a longer current undefeated sequence (nine), and no team in the division have kept more clean sheets than Frank Lampard’s side, with five.
Leeds have won three of their five PL away matches this season, as many as they did in the whole of their previous campaign in 2003/04 (W3 D2 L14). They have kept a clean sheet in all of those three victories.
Only Son Heung-min and Jamie Vardy have scored more away goals than Patrick Bamford's six in 2020/21, with seven each.
