Leeds United prepare for EFL Cup match at Chelsea on Wednesday
Summary

Leeds United travel to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday to face Chelsea in the EFL Cup. Ahead of the fixture, the club has issued travel and safety guidance for supporters making the trip to London. Officials reminded fans of a zero-tolerance policy regarding discriminatory language or behavior, noting that such actions may result in lengthy stadium bans. Stamford Bridge operates as a cashless venue, and supporters are advised to arrive at least 60 minutes before the 8pm kick-off. The away entrance is accessible via Dickie’s Deck near the East Stand. Because local parking is limited, the club recommends using public transport or pre-booked coach options on Imperial Road. Away fans should be aware that no nearby pubs allow entry for visiting supporters, with the closest options located approximately 25 minutes away by foot.
