PR - Football - England - Premier League

Leeds could upset the favorites. The Whites started the new season in excellent way, they have one win and one draw after the opening two rounds. They won 2:1 against Wolverhampton at home and showed they are strong as hosts. As guests, they played a 2:2 draw with Southampton. Jesse Marsch remain without Junior Firpo and Luke Ayling.

Chelsea started with a narrow win at Goodison Park, but they failed to impress. Last weekend they dropped two points against Tottenham. The Blues conceded an injury-time goal and the match finished 2:2. But Chelsea paid a high prize on that match. Their key player N'Golo Kante faces a month on the sidelines following a hamstring strain against the Spurs. Armando Broja and Mateo Kovacic are also out.

At the end I will mention that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will not lead the team. He handed one-match touchline ban and £35, 000 fine for Antonio Conte spat last weekend. Of course, he will find a way to communicate with his assistants, but I definitely think his absence is a handicap. I expect lot of problems for the Blues.
