Leeds United vs Chelsea at Island Road on Sunday afternoon, with the two sides unbeaten in their first two Premier League games.
However, both the Yorkshire club and the west London club were guilty of giving up the lead in their last matches, meaning that they will have an additional incentive before the showdown at the weekend.
While coach Thomas Tuchel took the initiative to praise the performance of his Chelsea team against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, the German refused to cheat on more obvious opportunities that his team missed.
The Blues did not necessarily create a lot of serious chances, nevertheless they had enough to put the game to bed before Harry Kane's controversial goal in the final moments.
Tuchel's heated conversations with Antonio Conte's counterpart took over the post-match conversations, as the couple now have to spend a match away from the dugout as a result of red cards.
However, coach Tuchel's team should be relatively satisfied with their start to the campaign, especially since they continue the difficult challenge at the beginning of the season.
Tuchel will aspire to see a goal from an offensive-minded player at Elland Road with his shot so far from a penalty corner and a brilliant finish from full-back Reece James.

Leeds United's Jesse Marsh will have a confused mindset ahead of this competition after seeing his side give up a two-goal lead away at Southampton.
They should have finished the weekend as one of three teams with 100 percent goals scored until the Saints scored two goals in the last 18 minutes from St. Mary's
However, like Chelsea, Marsh and Leeds should be happy with their start after narrowly missing out on relegation in 2021-22.
This time, Marsh has made some intelligent additions and is more ambitious, although he wants Patrick Bamford to play a series of games on the field instead of on the sidelines.
However, Rodrigo Moreno retook his chance last weekend when the Spaniard scored two goals after the break to lead him to three goals in just 155 minutes on the field.
N'golo Kante is expected to be out for several weeks after suffering a hamstring injury against Tottenham.
With Mateo Kovacic likely to remain on the sidelines due to a knee problem, Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Conor Gallagher will be involved in Chelsea's midfield.
Cesar Azpilicueta could pull three at the back and bring James back to fullback, but Kai Havertz should have a place in the attack with Armando Bruha sidelined due to a minor health problem.
Meanwhile, Bamford suggested he would miss the match due to a minor groin injury, although the striker indicated that he could return before the end of the month.
Daniel James, who was sacked in a similar match last season, is likely to replace him in attack in what may be the only change to the Leeds XI.
And such players as Junior Firpo, Luke Ayling, and Stuart Dallas are still on the sidelines.
