Chelsea vs Leeds United Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/26/26

A solitary FA Cup is a lowly return for a club the size of Leeds, but the Whites are just 2 wins away from adding to their underfilled trophy cabinet, and they are far too big a price to land the first of those on Sunday.  The Whites’ impressive 3-0 win over Wolves and Tottenham’s inability to beat Brighton means Daniel Farke’s side now has a 9-point cushion to the Premier League relegation zone. They are all but safe and their primary goal is within touching distance, so a talented squad can put all their energy into Sunday’s FA Cup semifinal with Chelsea. Leeds’ win over Wolves followed a stunning 2-1 victory at Manchester United, and Farke’s team is unbeaten in 6 games. They have plenty of momentum behind them ahead of a trip to Wembley — the same cannot be said for their opponents, Chelsea. 

The Blues cruised into the semi-finals with a 7-0 rout of League One strugglers Port Vale. However, that is their sole win in 8 outings, with the other 7 matches ending in defeat, including on Tuesday as they were crushed 3-0 by Brighton. Former head coach Liam Rosenior was fired the day after that loss, and Leeds should be able to take advantage of a Chelsea team in total disarray. Chelsea have already had issues with Leeds this season, losing 3-1 at Elland Road before a 2-2 draw in west London, and the Whites’ superior form suggests Farke will get one over the Blues again.
