Leeds United are up against Bournemouth on Wednesday night with a huge chance to take another step towards safety. Daniel Farke’s men are currently on 39 points in the league table.
The Whites are eight points above Spurs who sit in 18th place. Things have changed over the last week, with the club recording consecutive wins against Manchester United and Wolves. A bit of the pressure is off, and the club can focus on other things this week. They face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final this weekend.
Farke’s men have had their best run in domestic cup competition this season, and they would love to reward fans for their support by reaching the final.
Chelsea on the brink of sacking Liam Rosenior ahead of FA Cup clash
Ahead of the game, Chelsea are in poor form – they have lost seven of their last eight games. Liam Rosenior is under serious pressure with the team unable to win games over the last few weeks. The 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Tuesday night came as a shock to the people in charge of the club.
| Opponent | Result |
|---|---|
| Port Vale | 7-0 W |
| Manchester City | 3-0 L |
| Manchester United | 1-0 L |
| Brighton | 3-0 L |
According to Sky Kaveh, the loss and the events after the game have prompted action. The Sky Sports Chief correspondent has reported that Chelsea’s leadership are discussing the fall out from Tuesday night. He adds that even though the club are still backing Rosenior, there is no guarantee that he will be in charge of the team heading into the FA Cup semi-final this weekend. Rosenior’s future seems to be hanging in the balance, and the coming days will definitely be one to keep an eye on.

Huge advantage for Leeds United
Things are not going Chelsea’s way these past few weeks, seven defeats and the fact that the club have failed to score in four league games is not a good sign. Liam Rosenior is under pressure and could be sacked; this uncertainty will play into Leeds’ hands.
The Whites are very stable, in good form and will be full of confidence heading into the weekend regardless of the result on Wednesday night. They can briefly focus on the semi-final instead of the relegation battle after going eight points clear of the relegation zone. Everything is in place for Daniel Farke and his players to record a historic result at Wembley this weekend.
