Leeds United

These are insane tactics from Marsch, whatever the ultimate outcome of this match. Raphinha is playing as a wing-back. 7:54PM ...

The defence has looked more solid on occasion but part of how these players had closed the titanic talent gap between them and markedly superior squads to compete and finish ninth last season, was their ability to raid forward in waves of movement, like an upended wasp's nest. If they go for a back four, Koch would be the right-back, Struijk the left. Leeds lose the ball again but Mount fouls Bate and Leeds start again. Rodrigo currently is the central striker with James behind him and a back three with Raphinha as a wing-back. Alonso picks out mount and he could easily have scored but Leeds manage by the skin of their teeth to get in the way of his shot, throwing bodies at it. Once again he gets to the byline as if Struijk wasn't there but his cut-back is intercepted by a white shirt. Chelsea are zipping passes around defence and midfield, soaking up and hogging possession against the 10 men. He got the ball but his right leg came out like a lance and planted itself in Kovacic's calf. Marsch writes another note and sends it on to the pitch with Robin Koch the postman. Leeds wide open down their left and Meslier makes a fine save from point-blank range to thwart Pulisic, though the flag eventually goes up. Chelsea are passing the ball around easily. Chelsea sweep passes from right to left and back again, trying to open up Leeds down the inside-forward channels.

There is much at stake for both clubs when Chelsea visit Elland Road to face Leeds, but particularly for the relegation-threatened hosts.

Chelsea will see the 43-year-old take charge for a fifth time this season - more than any other team Taylor has officiated. It will be the third time Taylor has refereed a Leeds game this season. This would allow Patrick Struijk to come in at centre-back. Rudiger was again the injured party, with Mateusz Klich giving away a spot-kick which was again scored by Jorginho.

A corner drops to the defender on the edge of the area. Mount gets free of his man and squares it to Lukaku in the area but the striker can't quite get his toe on it. That's Leeds' first shot of the night. Jesse Marsch's side dropped into the bottom three at the weekend and with just three matches left to play, they know just how important tonight's match will be. A clear red. Such a high boot.

23' - RED CARD FOR JAMES! It's a straight red for the Leeds forward for a late challenge on Kovacic! It was a violent follow through as he planted his studs into the Croatian's ankle. 4' - GOAL! CHELSEA TAKE THE LEAD! Mount fires the visitors in front to get the Blues off to the perfect start! His energy levels did not drop at any point in the match and he was a constant problem for Leeds' defence.

Despite Leeds’ best efforts to get forward, the man advantage for Chelsea was playing a large part in the game. Both teams came out in the second half with the same XI’s that had finished the first 45 minutes. Junior Firpo came on in place of the winger which caused a tactical shuffle amongst the back line.

Referee Anthony Taylor was just a few yards away and showed no hesitation in showing a red card.

Will be questions about his coverage of Mason Mount for the opener. Fighting against a massive tide as he was at the weekend. Carried the Leeds threat whenever it did break into the opposition half, but none of the match-winning quality needed to lift this dire team display. Some very good tackles in the second half to deny Chelsea opportunities. Not at the high standards he set before this latest injury, but like his defensive counterparts, Cooper was solid around a box which felt under threat all night. Distribution was no worse than the passes being misplaced by his teammates across the field.

Mike Jackson believes Burnley's mental resilience could be the difference between relegation and survival in the Premier League.

We have to look at the big picture moving forward, we have three games to go and things change quickly in football. "You can have lads with terrific ability and sometimes it can be the mental side that lets them down. With three games remaining to secure Burnley's survival, Jackson believes that the difference in a heated scrap for safety could be the club's mental resilience.

Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku were on target as Chelsea won 3-0 at Elland Road to increase the relegation pressure on Leeds, ...

It was a challenge which ultimately forced Kovacic from the field several minutes later and by half-time, Leeds would have been grateful to only be one behind. They were already ahead before that thanks to Mason Mount’s strike after just four minutes, and they had the possession and chances to increase that lead further. What followed after the break felt like more of a procession for Chelsea, though. They were then put to the sword after half-time as goals from Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku inched Chelsea ever closer to a top four finish. They were among four changes made by Marsch but just as against Arsenal on Sunday, within five minutes here, Leeds had fallen behind. This was another defeat for Leeds, their third in succession, and the second in a matter of days in which a first-half red card has made an already difficult task even more arduous.

#LUFC #MOT @ImagecoPrint pic.twitter.com/oT5XtaXkZr May 10, 2022 Jesse Marsch has stated that Liam Cooper may be able to return to the side after rejoining training this week. Marcos Alonso is another doubt for the game. On game day we have to be a combination of pragmatic, clever and tactically be sharp, defend our goal and find ways to be dangerous.” Leeds are in 18th spot, level on points with 17th placed Burnley and one point behind 16th placed Everton. Three points on Wednesday would see them go above both of their end-of-season rivals. The fixture at Elland Road last season was a tight affair, which saw the teams take a point each in a 0-0 draw.

The midfielder adds that players need to up their concentration levels to cut out 'silly' first-half red cards.

"The pressure is on and we know that, but we try to go out and not show it. "The last two weeks have not been great, but I'm sure we will be ready to come out fighting and do our best." You could see from our performance that we were tired after the Arsenal game and we went a man down early in the first half again.

Kalvin Phillips made a frank admission about Leeds United making life even harder for themselves as lightning struck twice in Wednesday night's Elland Road ...

"Early on in the second half we did that but we are against a world class team like we were last week and with a man down it makes it a lot more difficult to try and create chances or stop them from scoring. "But we dug deep and it shows everything about us that even with ten men we are still try to play, we still try to get close to people and we will have to do that in the last two games." "But there's nothing we can do about it now, we tried our best and we have to do that in the next game.

The former Elland Road striker also reckons a 'horrendous' run-in makes his old club favourites for the drop.

North Shields-born Bridges also felt the scoreline flattered the Premier League table-toppers but insisted Leeds did not take the chances that came their way and cannot afford to be as profligate in their final three contests. Bridges was, however, overwhelmed during that 4-0 defeat to Manchester City by the support of the Elland Road faithful, who could play a major role in lifting their team against Chelsea and on Sunday when Brighton are the visitors to West Yorkshire. Fifth-bottom Everton, who are a point above the pair having played a game fewer, are also 16 goals superior than Leeds in that column.

We feel Jesse Marsch could make an excellent addition to his ranks here ahead of the start of the 2022/23 season. The source further states that the player does have a release clause in his contract which means that the club could allow him to leave for a fee in the region of £12m.

First up tonight: Everton at Vicarage Road. The Hornets still have three games to play with Hodgson at the helm. Joe Gelhardt’s maiden Premier League goal looked to have salvaged a point at Stamford Bridge back in December. But, a stoppage time penalty - dubiously awarded - for the hosts snatched away a share of the spoils in West London. - A point would take third-bottom Leeds out of the drop zone Burnley, though, do not play until Sunday's lunchtime kick-off at Tottenham Hotspur meaning even a point against Thomas Tuchel's Blues this evening would haul the Whites out of the bottom three. United are one point behind the fifth-bottom Toffees who have an extra game remaining and Frank Lampard's side are away at already-relegated Watford tonight in a 7.45pm kick-off tonight.

Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Roberts and Crysencio Summerville have had their seasons ended by injury, and Luke Ayling and Dan James through suspension.

If they lost, Everton could effectively relegate them by defeating Brentford at home in the 4.30pm kick-off. More so than their rivals, they will have to overcome a long list of absentees. And unlike the other two, they have only two opportunities to better them.

All the latest Aston Villa transfer news as BirminghamLive brings you the opinion of Leeds United fans on the future of Kalvin Phillips.

@JaysonAppleyard: He's an England international who in good form will start at a World Cup! He has to go when we go down. Leeds fans have already commented on a possible departure for Phillips, as he was pictured speaking to fans after the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea last night, where they seem resigned to losing his talents in the near future: Relegation itself is disastrous for the club but the possible exits in terms of their squad will also be a pressing matter if the unthinkable does unfold.

Angus Kinnear has addressed the problems Leeds United have seen in transitioning from Marcelo Bielsa to Jesse Marsch but see long-term offensive ambitions.

“We all knew the full tactical transition was impossible to complete in just 12 games, but our five-game unbeaten run and two consecutive clean sheets give us a foundation to build from. The transition has proved tricky since Marcelo Bielsa departed. Courageous offensive ambitions remain the long-term plan for Leeds United under Jesse Marsch though Angus Kinnear admits the board knew the transition would be tricky when they hired their new head coach.

Paddy Kenny has told Football Insider Leeds United's lack of discipline is "shocking" for a team battling relegation from the Premier League.

“The one thing you need in a relegation scrap is a cool head and clearly there aren’t many of them at Leeds. Luke Ayling also saw red in the first half of his side’s loss to Arsenal on Sunday (8 May). Leeds United’s lack of discipline is “shocking” for a team battling relegation from the Premier League.

Here are our four talking points from Leeds United's 3-0 loss to Chelsea at Elland Road in the Premier League as Daniel James sees red and the top-three ...

Future strategy on how the NFL franchise does or does not invest further in United is driven by Marathe and his colleagues. They are Leeds, this is their stadium and their team, whatever the result may be. It is of little consolation to anyone involved, but Leeds did not look threatening with 11 men on the field, as it was. Great form or not, on paper this has to be a side Leeds target and, if we are being honest, the opposition does not matter anymore. It was odd to hear Marsch say, twice, he had not seen the challenge back on replay when he faced the press after the game. It is easy to see why Marsch has not thrown James under the bus after the tackle.

Nigel Martyn is of the view that the vast majority of Victor Orta's signings have not made Leeds United's squad better.

Martyn stressed that while Leeds needed to bring in bodies, all of Orta’s signings other than the Brazilian have been players of the same level as the ones that helped the Whites get promotion, which has not added to the quality of the squad. Former Leeds star Martyn is of the view that Raphinha is Orta’s only signing that has done well at Elland Road in the Premier League, while none of the other arrivals have made the team better. As Leeds toil in the drop zone in a season in which goals have come at a premium with a leaky defence adding to their woes, the recruitment done by director of football Orta in their last four transfer windows has been put under the microscope, with many fans suggesting it is not up to the mark.

Last time the two sides faced off, they played out a 0-0 draw in November which saw Brighton have 20 shots. In terms of Premier League away form, Brighton sit fifth in the table, having won 28 points from 18 games this season. Graham Potter's side have earned plenty of plaudits this season for their easy on the eye playing style, with Brighton on track to secure their first ever top 10 Premier League finish.

Former Arsenal and England defender Martin Keown has predicted relegation for Leeds United on the back of Wednesday night's defeat to Chelsea.

"It is going really wrong for them and they look pretty well doomed at the moment. He (Marsch) is losing players through suspension, through injury and they are losing their heads. It's three defeats on the spin for Leeds, against Manchester City, Arsenal and Thomas Tuchel's men.

Future strategy on how the NFL franchise does or does not invest further in United is driven by Marathe and his colleagues.

I don't know whether it comes with playing for Leeds, a part of that getting stuck in and getting around people, but at the moment it’s costing them.

Dan James put in a nasty challenge during Leeds United's defeat to Chelsea, and it did not impress one Match of the Day pundit.

“Unbelievable,” he said. And speaking on Match of the Day, Keown tore into James for his challenge. James connected high on the Croatian, and despite touching the ball, a red card followed due to the aggressive nature of the challenge.

The latest Derby County news as Leeds United's two cards vs Chelsea means they have beaten the Rams' previous record set in 2000.

Leeds now have just two games remaining to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone. Leeds’ card haul now moves Derby down to second in that record table, with both Sunderland (2014/15) and Everton (1998/99) in joint-third having picked up 96 cards over the season. Jesse Marsch’s side were shown one yellow and one red card in the 3-0 defeat at Elland Road as they slipped closer to relegation to the Championship. Goals from Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku left Leeds in the final relegation place on goal difference with just two games left to play.
