Neither side will have gone into the new season with hopes set too high. Leeds only narrowly survived being relegated and sold two of their best players in Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha, while Chelsea now have new owners and also lost some big stars.

Then again, both teams have also brought players in. Two of Chelsea's new boys, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella, were instrumental in the team's first goal against Spurs last week, while another, Raheem Sterling supplied the assist for the second. Leeds fans, meanwhile, have been impressed with the likes of Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams in their opening two games.

Neither side has been beaten so far, and both could easily have taken all six points if not for late equalizers against them last weekend. Does that point the way to this one being a draw? Find out by watching a Leeds vs Chelsea live stream.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
