FRESH from Champions League disappointment in the week, Chelsea face Leeds aiming to get back to winning ways.
Thomas Tuchel's Blues suffered last-minute heartbreak to draw 3-3 with Zenit following a 3-2 defeat at West Ham to slip down to third in the Premier League in their last league outing.
Tuchel voiced his displeasure at the timing of the Leeds fixture following Wednesday's trip to St Petersburg.
The Blues boss said: "The problem is the next match on Saturday because we will lose time to sleep, arrive back very early on Thursday, and then we face an intense team in Leeds who have prepared to face this match.”
