Recommended bet: Chelsea to win, both teams to score and Ethan Ampadu to get a card @ 9/1 with LiveScore Bet
Chelsea will look to return to winning ways on Wednesday when they host Leeds in the EFL Cup at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have made an impressive start to the season under new head coach Xabi Alonso, winning their first three fixtures in all competitions, before suffering a setback against Arsenal on Sunday in a 2-1 defeat.
However, they pushed the reigning Premier League champions all the way and will take confidence from their performance.
Leeds arrive in the capital on the back of a four-match unbeaten run, with the Whites beating Nottingham Forest twice away from home before draws against Brentford and Brighton.
They will be out for revenge, having lost 1-0 at Wembley to Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals in April.
Team news
Chelsea midfielder Jordan Henderson is still sidelined with a wrist injury, while Moises Caicedo and Marco Palestra are both doubtful and have yet to prove their fitness.
Alonso is expected to make several changes to his starting XI, with striker Danny Welbeck hoping to start for the second game in succession in the competition.
Leeds defender Joe Rodon misses out through a hamstring injury, while Mateo Joseph is a long-term absentee due to a knee injury.
Ilia Gruev and Daniel James will both need to pass fitness tests as they try to shake off knee and back injuries.
New signings Melvin Bard, Jean-Matteo Bahoya and Michael Zetterer could all feature for the first time.

Prediction
With both managers set to make changes to their teams, it is Chelsea that have the greater strength in depth and should come out on top.
The Blues have only kept one clean sheet and will struggle to stop a Leeds side that has netted in four consecutive games.
However, Leeds have scored only one goal in three of their four matches, suggesting they lack the firepower to compete with a team of Chelsea's quality.
Ethan Ampadu has committed five fouls already this season and could leave his mark on the Chelsea midfield.
Ampadu takes on his former club this week and the Leeds skipper was booked in the FA Cup semi-final defeat at Wembley.
He will look to lead by example and is not averse to commiting fouls in order to keep the opposition at bay.
