After disappointing performances against West Ham and Zenit St Petersburg, Chelsea need to bounce back quickly when Leeds visit Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have dropped to third in the Premier League and need a result to get back on track as they bid to keep pace at the top with title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.
Chelsea are suddenly leaking goals and throwing away leads which has prompted manager Thomas Tuchel to publicly criticise his team’s attitude and focus.
Tuchel expects the European champions to respond against Leeds, who will be missing a key trio Patrick Bamford, Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper.
Is this just a blip for Chelsea, who looked so strong in the opening months of the season? Or will they fall behind Liverpool and Manchester City ahead of the busy festive period?
