Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Chelsea and Leeds United on March 4, 2023.
Following the 2 - 0 defeat to Tottenham at Tottenham Hotspur stadium, the Blues are standing tenth in the domestic table.
The Whites, meanwhile, celebrated a narrow 1 - 0 victory over bottom-sided Southampton and are continuing their relegation-surviving battle.
Writing on Sportskeeda, the pundit predicted the result of the match, claiming the meeting will end in the London outfit's victory.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at Stamford Bridge Stadium on Saturday, 3 pm UK time.
It's a huge game. This is not really the game that Chelsea's focus is on. They have to beat Dortmund next week in the Champions League. But surely, they've got to win this one against Leeds United.
It's such a tough game for Chelsea but I back them to win this one. They've won just two of their last 16 matches. That's appalling for a club of Chelsea's stature. They must win this one.
In my opinion, Graham Potter's future will be decided on Tuesday after the game against Dortmund. It's the only competition the Blues are in right now. Who will replace him? People say Pochettino might. But he used to manage Tottenham Hotspur and that could make him a no-go.
Paul Merson's prediction: Chelsea 2 - 0 Leeds United
