Leeds United have lost just one of their last nine Premier League home games against Chelsea (W5 D3), with this the first such meeting since a 1-1 draw in December 2003.
Chelsea is looking to secure their first league double over Leeds since the 1988-89 campaign in the second tier.
Chelsea made six changes from their win against Everton earlier in the week, as well as their formation.
Chilwell, Rudiger, Kante, Mount, Ziyech, and Pulisic return to the line-up, having all been named among the subs last time out, which only highlights the strength in depth available to Tuchel.

Bamford played clean through and squares for Roberts to tap into an empty net, but the offside flag goes up to cut short the celebrations.

Next up for Chelsea is a Champions League last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, while Leeds – now within two points of the top half – head to Fulham on Friday.
