England FA Cup | Chelsea VS Leeds United; Thursday, 29 February at 03:30 GMT +8

Chelsea’s FA Cup final is their last chance to win the trophy this season. Despite being a mid-table team in the Premier League, they lost against Liverpool in the EFL Cup. Virgil van Dijk’s extra time goal secured Jurgen Klopp’s victory. The outcome of the Cup final will impact Maurizio Pochetino and his team.

Leeds, relegated from the Premier League last spring, are now second in the Championship and must offer their best football to fulfill their primary goal. Daniel Farke’s team has won the last six matches in all competitions, including a 3-1 win against Leicester, which will give Leeds confidence ahead of their upcoming game against Chelsea.

Chelsea will miss several players, including injured Lesley Ugochukwu, Marc Cucurella, Romeo Lavia, Carney Chukwuemeka, Benoit Badiashile, Reece James, and Wesley Fofana. Thiago Silva is also questionable for Wednesday. Despite Robert Sanchez’s recovery, Maurizio Pochettino decided to keep Djordje Petrovic in the cup final. The team will have limited rest until Leeds.

Leeds have a better squad with Karl Darlow, Pascal Struijk, Stuart Dallas, and Sam Byram missing on Wednesday. They should recover soon, and head coach Daniel Farke may have a full squad available soon.

Predicted lineups:

Chelsea

Goalkeeper: Djordje Petrovic
Defenders: Malo Gusto, Axel Disasi, Levi Colwill, Benjamin Chilwell
