Leeds 0-0 Chelsea: Thomas Tuchel extends unbeaten run as boss to 12 games as his side go three points clear of West Ham despite frustrating stalemate against Marcelo Bielsa's men who lose Patrick Bamford to injury

No goals but no shortage of entertainment at Elland Road. A match which proved inconclusive, remained absorbing to the end.

Chelsea remain a solid bet for the top four simply because Thomas Tuchel has added structure and stability; ten of his twelve games have seen Chelsea keep a clean sheet.

When they can a more potent attacking force on to that, they will be some force. Leeds simply don't draw. Or at least they haven't since a 0-0 against Arsenal in November and have only kept two clean sheets in 2021. So no-one was anticipating this.
