Chelsea FC vs Leeds: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

The Carabao Cup semi-final defeats to Arsenal aside, it has been a promising start to life as Blues head coach for Rosenior, although a tough test awaits against a Leeds team that has sights set on pulling further clear of the bottom three.

After suffering a 4-0 loss at home to the Gunners, Leeds bounced back in style to beat Nottingham Forest last Friday and now sit six points clear of the relegation zone.

Chelsea vs Leeds is scheduled for a 7.30pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.

The match will take place at Stamford Bridge.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports. Coverage starts at 7pm GMT on TNT Sports 4.

Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website.

Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Dom Smith at the ground.

Chelsea are not expected to welcome Reece James back from injury for the visit of Leeds.

The Blues captain has missed the last two games – against Arsenal and Wolves – with what Rosenior has described as a “a pain management issue.”

Rosenior says James has now recovered from that injury, but admitted that he has since contracted an illness which could rule him out of Tuesday’s match.

Leeds did not pick up any fresh injury concerns following their win over Forest, leaving manager Daniel Farke with nearly a fully fit squad to choose from for the trip to west London.

Anton Stach is the only senior player unavailable because of a hip issue, though he could return for the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Birmingham at the weekend.

This is a tough one to call as while Chelsea are in fine form, Leeds have proven to be a tough nut to crack since their win in the reverse fixture.

That said, Leeds have only won once on their travels in the league this season and we do not expect that to change with Chelsea edging this one.

Chelsea have not lost at home to Leeds in any competition since December 1999 when Stephen McPhail netted a brace for the visitors.
