Chelsea vs Leeds United lineups
Potter's situation is not made any easier by a growing injury crisis at Chelsea, despite his sizeable squad options, with Brazilian star Thiago Silva joining the list of absentees.
Mateo Kovacic has recovered from illness in time to start, but England international Mason Mount, who came off the bench in last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham, has an abdominal injury. There's a potential problem at right-back, too: Reece James is a doubt to play due to a tight hamstring, and Cesar Azpilicueta is still recovering from concussion.
Chelsea starting XI (4-2-3-1): Kepa (GK) — Chalobah, Badiashile, Koulibaly, Chilwell — Fernandez, Kovacic — Ziyech, Felix, Mudryk — Havertz
Chelsea subs: Bettinelli (GK), Hall, Loftus-Cheek, Zakaria, Sterling, Aubameyang, Gallagher, Madueke, Fofana
Gracia made sweeping changes for the midweek FA Cup defeat to Fulham, with Premier League survival his priority, and he is set to recall his key players this weekend.
Defensive pair Pascal Struijk and Liam Cooper are expected to return to the squad, but the Spanish coach could revert to an unchanged Premier League lineup. Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo Moreno are still out.
Leeds United starting XI (4-2-3-1): Meslier (GK) — Ayling, Koch, Wober, Firpo — Adams, McKennie — Harrison, Aaronson, Gnonto — Bamford

Chelsea vs Leeds United prediction, odds
Chelsea will be looking at this game as a chance to end their miserable winless Premier League run and build some positive momentum for the end-of-season run-in.
However, it is difficult to find much to work with based on just one goal scored in their past six games across all competitions, and Leeds will be more than happy to dig in and pick up a point in the capital.
