Lee Peltier says that Leeds United can defeat Chelsea at Elland Road on Wednesday and progress to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Leeds United captain Lee Peltier believes that Chelsea are under "a lot of pressure" to win against them in the League Cup quarter-final on Wednesday.

The defender is confident that the Championship side have the potential to cause an upset at Elland Road just like Bradford City caused when they defeated Arsenal on penalties to reach the last four of the competition.

"Everybody expected Arsenal to go there and win by five or six, so all credit to Bradford," the Daily Mail quotes him as saying.

"There's a lot of pressure on Chelsea. They will be expected to beat us but we won't go out without a fight. There are a lot of players here who would love to go out and play in front of a full house in a Wembley final.

"The way we play when we put pressure on teams, we keep going at them and it's relentless. If we start off like that, we can get Chelsea on the back foot and that will give us a big chance."

Chelsea will head into this game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Corinthians in the FIFA Club World Cup final in Japan on Sunday.
