Both teams will be in league action twice this week with Leeds away to West Ham United while Chelsea host Everton in a top five showdown.
Leeds have endured an inconsistent run of form of late but seem to have done enough to ensure at least another season in England's top-flight following their promotion ahead of the current campaign. They head into the week having lost three and won two of their last five matches.
Chelsea prepare for Everton's visit on the back of a 1-0 win at Liverpool. The Blues have yet to taste defeat under Thomas Tuchel (at the time of writing), since he took over the reins from Frank Lamaprd at the end of January.
"I am very, very happy with the performance. It was clear we needed a complete performance in all aspects of the game," Tuchel said following their match at Anfield . "We did this, we were very brave with the ball and never lost intensity with the ball.
"We were always aggressive and very brave. This was the key. It was a top team performance and a deserved win. When you arrive in a match like this you cannot overthink it. We managed all situations very, very well.
"The race [for Champions League football] is on, there are still 11 games to go," Tuchel added. "We go step by step. We can never rest and never celebrate, there is no time."

Chelsea beat Leeds 3-1 in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge earlier this season. Patrick Bamford opened the scoring before goals from Olivier Giroud, Kurt Zouma and Christian Pulisic secured a comeback win for the hosts in London.
