James up top, no Struijk
Two changes for Leeds this afternoon.
Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper drop out through injury and Jamie Shackleton comes in alongside Jack Harrison.
Pascal Struijk is still absent from the matchday squad, which is a bit of a surprise after his hip injury.
It’s another young bench - Joffy, Summerville, Cresswell, Jenkins, Drameh, McCarron and McKinstry all there.
Warm-ups done
Chelsea head into the changing rooms first. They’re followed in by Leeds... we’re awaiting kick-off, which comes next.
