The Premier League Round 26 clash between Chelsea vs Leeds United will take place under the lights at Stamford Bridge, with kick-off scheduled for 01:00 AM IST on Wednesday, 11 February 2026. With Chelsea firmly in the top-four hunt and Leeds still looking over their shoulder near the relegation zone, this fixture carries weight at both ends of the table.
Chelsea arrive full of confidence after a strong run under Liam Rosenior, combining control in midfield with consistent goal output. Leeds United, managed by Daniel Farke, have shown flashes of resilience but continue to struggle away from Elland Road—especially in midweek fixtures, where defensive lapses have been costly.
