Chelsea 3-2 Leeds United highlights: Mateo Joseph nets twice as Whites knocked out of FA Cup at the death
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Whites are set to be without a number of key attacking players as manager Daniel Farke seeks to protect those with knocks and minor injuries from exacerbating current issues which could mean an opportunity for the likes of Mateo Joseph and Jaidon Anthony at Stamford Bridge this evening.
Georginio Rutter, Patrick Bamford and Crysencio Summerville are doubts to feature, while Daniel James has a slight problem which could see him named on the bench instead of the starting XI. Chelsea also have injuries to contend with as pressure mounts on boss Mauricio Pochettino following their League Cup final defeat to Liverpool last Sunday. The Blues are without a throng of players including skipper Reece James, while £52 million frontman Christopher Nkunku also misses out this evening.
Build-up, analysis, team news, TV info, goal and score updates will be right here throughout the evening. Kick-off is at 7:30pm.

FT reaction
To a man, the Shed End still singing, applauding each and every #LUFC player. Chelsea get out of jail. A performance like that, particularly second half, only serves as further encouragement that this team are headed in the right direction.
FT: Chelsea 3-2 Leeds United
Battled hard, went toe-to-toe and gave Chelsea real problems in the second half. No shame in that. Focus back on the league. That away end could well be full again here next season.
Goal. Chelsea 3-2. Gallagher.
90' Run down the left and into the middle by Enzo, finds Gallagher in space, lets it run into the penalty area and finishes over Meslier. A blow, but could save Leeds an extra half hour ahead of Saturday.
89' Summerville dances his way through the Chelsea half, skipping past Gallagher's lunge after Ampadu had won possession. Goes to play in a teammate but ball trickles away for a goal kick.
No yellow
83' Summerville holds off Gallagher well at a bouncing ball. Chelsea man tries to retrieve but fouls the Dutchman with a high boot.
82' Anthony does well yet again cutting in from the left but gets too much on his shot and sends it over the bar.
