Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has named his starting line-up for tonight’s Premier League clash against Leeds United at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are on a four-match winning streak in the Premier League and can go seven points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool with a victory.

The fifth spot could be sufficient to qualify for the Champions League next term. Ahead of the game, Rosenior has made two changes to the XI.

Robert Sanchez continues in goal for the west London giants.

However, there is a change in the backline.

Wesley Fofana has been given a breather on the bench. Josh Acheampong is set to partner Trevoh Chalobah in central defence. Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella are the full-backs.

There are no changes in the centre of the park. Andrey Santos and Moises Caicedo are the defensive midfielders again with Enzo Fernandez in the number 10 spot.

Further forward, Cole Palmer continues on the right wing, but there is a change on the opposite end. Estevao comes in for Pedro Neto. Joao Pedro will lead the line.

Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Leeds: Sanchez; Gusto, Acheampong, Chalobah, Cucurella; Santos, Caicedo; Palmer, Enzo, Estevao; Pedro.
