Tyler Adams declares 'huge' Leeds United advantage against Chelsea and confidence in result

Leeds are still unbeaten for the new campaign but face considerably their hardest test so far this weekend when last season's third-placed finishers Chelsea visit Elland Road.

Adams, though, says that United's start has given them huge hope for taking a positive result against the Blues, especially backed by a home crowd in just the third game of the campaign.

Chelsea are approaching the contest sitting one position below sixth-placed Leeds by virtue of less goals scored following an opening day 1-0 win at Everton and last weekend's 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

Adams says that a "fun" afternoon is now in store at Elland Road and said: "I think we can definitely get a result.

"I think being at home early on in the season definitely gives us a huge advantage.

"But with the momentum we have, we are very confident in the complete group right now and not even the guys who are just starting but also the guys that are coming off the bench and making an impact have been huge.

"We're confident."

Asked If the fixture was one that he dreamed of, USA international Adams admitted: "One hundred per cent.

"I remember the last time I played against Chelsea I was 16 in a New York Red Bulls jersey so now being able to do it for Leeds United in the Premier League, that's what dreams are made of.

"It's something that I dreamed of as a young kid, to play against the top oppositions in the world whether it's the Champions League and now the Premier League playing against some of the best players in the world which obviously play for Chelsea. It will be a fun one."
