Chelsea host Leeds at Stamford Bridge in Premier League Regular Season round 26 on 10 February 2026, with kickoff at 19:30 UTC. Chelsea sit 5th on 43 points and a +17 goal difference, while Leeds are 16th with 29 points and a -9 goal difference, fighting to steer clear of the relegation battle.
Chelsea Availability
The hosts have a significant list of concerns. Levi Colwill is ruled out with a knee injury, while Dário Essugo and Andrey Santos are sidelined by unspecified injuries. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens misses out with a muscle problem, and Romeo Lavia is absent due to a thigh injury. Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended. There are further doubts over Tosin Adarabioyo, Andrey Santos and goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen, all listed as questionable. However, key attacking contributors remain available: João Pedro has been central to Chelsea’s threat with 9 league goals and 4 assists, while Enzo Fernández adds scoring from midfield with 8 goals and 2 assists, supported creatively by Reece James, who has chipped in 4 assists and 2 goals from defence.
Leeds Availability
Leeds travel without midfield anchor Anton Stach and defender Pascal Struijk, both sidelined by hip injuries, weakening their spine and defensive depth. Even so, their main attacking outlet Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit, bringing 10 league goals and 1 assist, and will be crucial to Leeds’ counter-attacking hopes at Stamford Bridge.
Impact Summary
Both sides are missing important squad pieces, but Chelsea’s absences are more numerous and affect several areas of the pitch. Despite that, Chelsea retain the bulk of their attacking production through João Pedro and Enzo Fernández, while Leeds remain heavily reliant on Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 10-goal contribution for cutting edge.
