Frank Lampard’s blue machine is purring along nicely.
A magnificent win, against Sevilla, where four goals from Olivier Giroud ensured Chelsea top their Champions League Group, ensured the growing run of unbeaten games continues.
This weekend, Chelsea welcome old foes Leeds United, to Stamford Bridge, for a Premier league game, a fixture that will see 2,000 fans let inside the ground for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we live.
However, that great win, in midweek, has given the boss his own set of problems to work out.
The starting eleven for that game contained many faces who would not normally be considered as being in the stating eleven, with Emerson, Christensen, Rudiger, Jorginho and Giroud all starting.
Of the five named, Giroud perhaps did the most to push for a start against Leeds United.
In our usual feature, we are asking you to second guess the starting XI that Frank will opt for, simply put your predicted XI in the comment facility beneath this article.

GK- Mendy, RB- Reece Games, CB- Zuma, CB- Silva, LB- Chiwell, DM- Kante, AM- Mount, AM- Havartz, LW- Werna, RW- Ziyech, CF- Giroud.
Score- Chelsea 3 – 0 Leeds
I believe Giroud has to be given a start after his showing at Sevilla. So that it sends a message to both the regular starters – perform or lose your place & to the reserves – perform & you will be given starts .
So i pretty much will go with the team suggested by Akachi Ude above.
