What is at stake for Chelsea and Leeds?

Without European football this season, Chelsea only have three opportunities to lift major silverware, with the EFL Cup potentially the most likely out of the trio compared to the Premier League and FA Cup.

Whist the majority of their rivals focus on continental adventures this autumn, the Blues can afford to field strong XIs in the EFL Cup and hopefully advance to the latter stages with relative ease.

Leeds are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the competitive campaign after beating Nottingham Forest in round two in order to set up this tie.
