Midweek action is up next for Chelsea as they host Leeds United at Stamford Bridge in the third round of the 2026–27 Carabao Cup.
Failing to qualify to European competitions means Chelsea’s Carabao Cup campaign started earlier than usual. The Blues cruised past Luton Town two weeks ago to reach the third round in what was the first official match of the Xabi Alonso era at Stamford Bridge.
Leeds meanwhile had no trouble beating Nottingham Forest away in the second round. Daniel Farke’s men remain unbeaten this season and will be confident they can pull off an upset in west London.
After falling against Arsenal in the first defeat of the Alonso era last time out, getting eliminated from the Carabao Cup by an inferior side three days later would be a nightmare way to begin the Alonso’s tenure at Chelsea.
The Blues would’ve liked to be playing in the Champions League midweek but instead face a difficult task they are obliged to overcome.
