Chelsea host Leeds at Stamford Bridge in Premier League Regular Season round 26 on 10 February 2026, with kickoff at 19:30 UTC. Chelsea sit 5th on 43 points, chasing European qualification, while Leeds are 16th on 29 points and still looking over their shoulders at the relegation battle.
Chelsea Availability
Chelsea face a significant absentee list. Defender Levi Colwill misses out with a knee injury, while midfielder Dário Essugo and young attacker Jamie Bynoe-Gittens are sidelined by injuries, the latter with a muscle problem. Midfield anchor Romeo Lavia is out with a thigh issue, and winger Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended. There are also doubts over defender Tosin Adarabioyo, midfielder Andrey Santos and goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen, all listed as questionable. Even so, key attacking contributors remain available: Joao Pedro has 9 league goals and 4 assists, and Enzo Fernández has added 8 goals and 2 assists from midfield, underlining that Chelsea still carry considerable threat.
Leeds Availability
Leeds’ issues are more concentrated in midfield and defence. Both Anton Stach and Pascal Struijk are ruled out with hip injuries, weakening their spine and defensive structure. Crucially, their main attacking outlet Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit, having scored 10 league goals and provided 1 assist, making him central to Leeds’ hopes at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea clearly have the longer injury list, affecting depth across defence and midfield, but they retain most of their primary attacking output through Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernández. Leeds are lighter on absentees yet lose two important structural players, while still relying heavily on Calvert-Lewin’s 10-goal contribution.
