Around the same time point.
Of the top four teams, besides Chelsea who play tomorrow, Manchester United and Arsenal have also finished their respective league matches this round.
Manchester United beat Everton 2-1 at home, while Arsenal also beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at home.
With only one round left to win the mid-season championship.
Manchester United are third in the standings with 39 points.
Leeds United, on the other hand, are tied with Arsenal with 40 points, ranking first and second in the standings.
