Thomas Tuchel managed to keep Chelsea unbeaten but drop valueable 2 points in the top 4 race with a goalless draw against Leeds United but Marcelo Bielsa lost his top scorer, Patrick Bamford to injury.
Chelsea as usual were dominant with 62% of the possession at full time, 15 shots managing 8 on target.
