Rodrigo looks set to start up front for Leeds United when they take on Chelsea at Elland Road on Sunday, according to The Athletic journalist Phil Hay. Writing on The Athletic's website ahead of the game on 21 August, Hay reported that Patrick Bamford ...

Patrick Bamford’s Leeds career has seen him be an unreliable goalscorer in the Championship and unreliable with fitness both in the second-tier and in the Premier League. Rodrigo deserves the shot though but ultimately, we shouldn’t be relying on him to play up front when he’s struggled so badly over the last couple of years to find the back of the net. Rodrigo looks set to start up front for Leeds United when they take on Chelsea at Elland Road on Sunday, according to The Athletic journalist Phil Hay.

You can see more information on what is happening ahead of the match, by For Chelsea, N’Golo Kante is expected to be missing along with fellow midfielder Mateo Kovacic. For Sunday’s opposition, Jorginho, Kalidou Koulibaly and Reece James are all on one each up to now. Leeds began with a 2-1 success over Wolverhampton Wanderers, whilst Chelsea’s opening day saw them beat Everton by the odd goal.

Pre-match facts from Opta · Leeds are winless in seven Premier League games against Chelsea (D2 L5) since a 2-0 victory at Elland Road back in December 2002.

"Even from someone like me, the 60s is a long, long time ago, which I guess I'm happy to say. We wait for the explanation for the punishment and if we accept it... I think we definitely have a chance." The ball is played back to the Chelsea 'keeper and instead of clearing, he tries to skip round the Leeds midfielder. Leeds back off, the Chelsea man unleashes a shot, but it flashes wide. It's fine [that Tuchel is on the bench]. I love it." So I love it. Down the other end, there's a tough chance for Rodrigo. but let's wait for the explanation. - Jack Harrison has assisted in Leeds’ opening two league games this season, setting up Rodrigo on both occasions. But Aaronson catches him, pinches the ball, and walks it in.

Hello and welcome to The Athletic's coverage of Leeds United vs Chelsea in the Premier League. These two sides have the same record after two matches, ...

That means that James is likely to be deployed in the right centre-back role, unless Tuchel opts for a back four which seems unlikely. The expectation was probably that Loftus-Cheek would move from right wing-back into the midfield but he remains on the right-hand side after a strong performance against Tottenham. The 19-year-old midfielder was one of the most highly-rated midfield prospects in Italy prior to his departure from the San Siro. Jorginho, Koulibaly and James have provided the goals and Tuchel will be desperate for a greater contribution from his front three. Despite the sides being at opposite ends of the country, there is still a real rivalry between these two sides. An electric start from Sterling and the visitors. If they weren't already, the Leeds players have certainly been woken up by that very early Sterling miss. Another Chelsea counter attack and another big chance to break the deadlock. The travelling supporters thought that Sterling had put them in front with a really neat finish. This scoreline is nothing short of what the hosts have deserved, they have been excellent. Sky Sports will show the match in the UK. These two sides have the same record after two matches, having drawn once and won once each.

Rodrigo's flick was far beyond Mendy's reach; the club record signing's fourth goal in three games propelling him to the top of the early Golden Boot rankings. A switch to 4-3-3 after the interval brought somewhat more control for Chelsea with full backs Cucurella and Reece James both going close before the 65th minute. A flick of the right boot freed the ball for Aaronson to roll it into across the goal line. It was to Leeds credit that they gummed up that particular avenue to goal midway through the first half and, as Chelsea ran out of ideas, the threat posed by the hosts only grew. Still by half time the Chelsea head coach seemed too dumbstruck for sideline histrionics as Leeds doubled their lead with another goal bedecked in MLS flair. Thomas Tuchel might have been banned for this game, but the one-match suspension he was handed for his dust up with Antonio Conte last week.

Thomas Tuchel's men suffered a 3-0 defeat on the road to Jesse Marsch's Leeds and here are some of the key takeaways heading into game week four.

It can be difficult to fully decipher what exactly the 26-year-old's role is for the Blues, as he floats around from position to position, yet it could be argued that he maybe deserves a bit more. The Senegalese captain is an exceptional tackler, but the time and place of when he goes in for one need to be considered much more if he wants to survive players such as Bernardo Silva, Allan Saint-Maximin and Mo Salah. Three shots on target, a few more if you count the offside chances, and supporters were gifted little to nothing up front, with Kai Havertz absolutely nowhere to be seen for the 19 passes he made in 90 minutes. Conor Gallagher in particular looked out of his depth amongst shaky teammates, often dispossessed and left stranded, but as transfer rumours continue to speculate, he perhaps won't be getting many more minutes in blue. Tuchel's wing-backs are amongst the best in the business and it appears their output is not that easy to replicate when one of them is absent. New man Marc Cucurella has shown signs of being an impressive understudy for Ben Chilwell, but he just doesn't bring what the England international is able to seamlessly offer, both defensively and going forward.

Leeds United stunned Chelsea with a magnificent 3-0 win at Elland Road. Brenden Aaronson, Rodrigo Moreno and Jack Harrison got the goals.

The former Man City man gets in again and possession is worked to Loftus-Cheek via Havertz. At least Jesse Marsch tends to be the shy and retiring type... But Koch stepped up in the nick of time and he was offside. 26th minute: Sterling harassing Koch again and the Leeds defender can only shovel a clearance to Cucurella, whose cross is cleared. The delivery from Harrison is typically superb, the run well-timed to the near post and Rodrigo heads home emphatically. 22nd minute: Good header down from Havertz and Mount has the Leeds defence backpedalling. 56th minute: Harrison surges towards the back post to try and meet James' searching cross from the right but Chelsea re able to clear behind. The Leeds winger picked his pocket and rolled in a finish from the goalline. Halftime: Chelsea pressed continuously during the closing moments of the half but Leeds saw things out to maintain their two-goal advantage at the break. 47th minute: As part of that reshuffle, Gallagher is on the right of midfield. Perhaps this is finally the performance to move Leeds on from the much-loved Marcelo Bielsa era. It would not be the most traditional route to full international honours but by selecting his former club-mate Kalvin Phillips a couple of years ago, Southgate showed he is happy to realise the value of casting his net a little wider.
