Chelsea vs. Leeds: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 113

Leeds United wins: 41

Draws: 31

Chelsea wins: 41

Despite falling short of Chelsea's overall success in the 21st century, Leeds United and Chelsea are tied on 41 wins apiece in their all-time head-to-head record, while also sharing the spoils in 31 of their 113 meetings.

The bulk of Leeds' victories in this fixture came during the 20th century, and it will come as no surprise to learn that Chelsea have lost just four of their last 20 matches against the Whites, winning 10 of their last 15 battles.

Most recently, Xabi Alonso's Blues secured a thrilling 6-3 win over Leeds at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues advancing to the fourth round of the EFL Cup after coming back from 2-0 down. 

The Cole Palmer-inspired triumph in the League Cup follows the capital club's 1-0 victory over Leeds United at Wembley Stadium, which saw the Blues reach the 2025-26 FA Cup final against Manchester City.

In their last Premier League meeting, Daniel Farke's Whites made the trip to Stamford Bridge and left with a point after coming from behind to earn a 2-2 draw, courtesy of second-half goals from Lukas Nmecha and Noah Okafor.

That draw meant that Leeds collected four points from their two top-flight encounters with Chelsea in 2025-26, following their impressive 3-1 win over the Blues at Elland Road back in December 2025.

Prior to Leeds' return to the Premier League last term, Chelsea faced the Whites in the fifth round of the 2023-24 FA Cup, though they needed a stoppage-time winner from Conor Gallagher to prevail 3-2 over the then-Championship side.

The Blues did the double over the Whites in the 2021-22 Premier League campaign, but they were held to a 0-0 draw at Elland Road in the 2020-21 season and have only won six of their 49 away games against Leeds.

Of all the teams they have faced at least 20 times in league football, Chelsea's 12.5% win rate at Leeds is their second-worst against a single team away from home, only superior to their 12% ratio against Sheffield Wednesday.

Outside of league action, Chelsea and Leeds memorably contested what has been dubbed the most brutal game of football ever played in England - the 1970 FA Cup final, which the Blues won 2-1 in a replay.
