Chelsea welcome top scorer Joao Pedro back from a minor calf injury, but Cole Palmer is only fit enough for a place on the bench.<\/p>\n

The pair missed the 3-0 defeat at Brighton, which proved to be Liam Rosenior\u2019s final game in charge as head coach.<\/p>\n

Now led by interim boss Calum McFarlane, they switch back to a back four, with Alejandro Garnacho and Tosin Adarabioyo coming into the side.<\/p>\n

Chelsea XI<\/b>: Sanchez, Gusto, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella, Caicedo, Lavia, Neto, Fernandez, Garnacho, Joao Pedro. <\/p>\n

Subs: Sharman-Lowe, Acheampong, Fofana, Hato, Essugo, Andrey Santos, Palmer, Derry, Delap<\/p>\n

Leeds’ cup-goalkeeper Lucas Perri retains his place over Karl Darlow, who remains no1 in the Premier League. <\/p>\n

They otherwise have the same XI which drew with Bournemouth on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The Whites are unbeaten in seven in all competitions. <\/p>\n

Leeds XI<\/b>: Perri, Justin, Bijol, Struijk, Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson, Aaronson, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin<\/p>\n

Subs: Darlow, Roson, Bornauw, Longstaff, Stach, James, Gnonto, Piroe, Nmecha<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
