Latest Leeds vs Chelsea team news
Caicedo began serving a three-match suspension for a foul. Worse for Chelsea, Maresca also hinted at the possibility of resting Reece James after his excellent performance on Sunday.
Therefore, Andrey Santos is expected to partner with Enzo Fernandez in midfield, opening up the possibility of Cole Palmer starting. However, the central attacking pairing of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap remains the more logical choice at this time.
Levi Colwill (knee), Romeo Lavia (thigh), and Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended) will be absent. Dario Essugo has returned to training after thigh surgery but still needs more time to reach peak fitness.
On Leeds' side, they were forced to substitute James Justin midway through the second half in their defeat to Man City, although Farke claimed it was just "a minor collision".
The home side could also welcome back Sebastiaan Bornauw (knee) and Anton Stach (concussion). However, Sean Longstaff is at risk of being sidelined for the rest of 2025 due to a calf injury.
After Jaka Bijol and Dominic Calvert-Lewin came on and contributed to the improvement against Man City, Farke could use the duo from the start of midweek, with Calvert-Lewin partnering Nmecha in attack.

Latest football match prediction: Leeds vs Chelsea
The first 30 minutes between Chelsea and Arsenal were tense, seeing no fewer than three yellow cards for the visiting team's players, who were clearly outmatched by Maresca's aggressive pressing. However, it was the Blues who ultimately received a red card, a decision that was almost inevitable.
Despite Moises Caicedo being sent off, Chelsea's attacking prowess remained undiminished. The Club World Cup champions took the lead thanks to a delicate header from Trevoh Chalobah, before Mikel Merino equalized for Arsenal.
Following Caicedo's well-deserved red card, Sunday's draw was clearly a more valuable point for Chelsea than the two points dropped, although they have now been overtaken by Manchester City to become Arsenal's closest pursuers in the league table.
Avoiding defeat against Arsenal also helped Chelsea extend their unbeaten run to seven matches in all competitions, and they are in excellent form away from home with five wins and one draw in their last six away games.
That run included three consecutive Premier League wins against Tottenham, Burnley and Nottingham Forest. Chelsea have also scored in all 10 of their away games since the start of the season.
Chelsea's attacking statistics are a major cause for concern for Leeds, who have conceded multiple goals in all four of their most recent Premier League matches, all of which ended in defeats against Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, and most recently, Man City.
Daniel Farke's side looked poised for a spectacular comeback, leveling the score at 2-2 against Man City, but Phil Foden scored a brace with a goal in injury time of the second half.
The Leeds manager was visibly annoyed by what he described as time-wasting tactics from Man City, after Gianluigi Donnarumma went to the ground injured, giving Pep Guardiola the opportunity to consult with his players. However, Leeds can still be proud of their fighting spirit in the second half.
However, fighting spirit without earning points hasn't helped Leeds escape their predicament. They remain in the relegation zone, but are only behind West Ham in terms of goals scored with a third of the season already underway.
Leeds' home record this season – two wins, two losses, two draws – is not bad at all. And their most recent victory against Chelsea was at Elland Road in 2022, when they beat Thomas Tuchel's side 3-0.
