What was one of the biggest games in club football in 1970 arrived in 2023 under something of a cloud. For Leeds United, victory this season looks like staying in the Premier League. After what felt like an endless period of dithering they finally settled on a new manager, and the Javi Grac-era began with awhich lifted them out of the relegation places. A small sign of progress following a run of ten straight games without a win; more than a quarter of their season.
There’s no way of sugar coating it. At 3pm, Chelsea were in 10th place in the Premier League, having scored just 23 goals in 24 Premier League games and having failed to score more than a single goal in a Premier League match since the 27th December. Graham Potter doesn’t seem to know his best team, results have been poor, performances have been no better, and there have been very few signs of improvement on the horizon.
By 3.45pm, results elsewhere had ensured that Chelsea had dropped to 11th place in the Premier League while Leeds had dropped to 18th. This was, perhaps, appopriate at the end of a fairly indistinguished half of football. Chelsea had the best chance, with Joao Felix rattling the underside of the Leeds crossbar, but after a reasonably impressive first half hour a familar pattern started to reveal itself. Chelsea’s early press started to give way to stray passes and bad decisions.
