Team News

Chelsea
Sheff Utd
  • Chelsea head into this one with no fewer than 12 players potentially absent.
  • The Blues have seen club captain Reece James suffer yet another setback, this time the England international is set to miss as many as three months with a hamstring issue.
  • Nicolas Jackson could come back into the side after Armando Broja started at Everton last weekend.
  • Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and defender Marc Cucurella are both set for spells on the sidelines, after picking up injuries last time out.
  • Sheffield United welcome back Oliver Norwood and Oli McBurnie from respective suspensions, but Jack Robinson must now serve a one-match ban for five yellow cards.
  • Returning boss Chris Wilder should look to go with a similar XI to that which earned all three points against Brentford last time out.

Prediction

  • Chelsea have now lost three of their last four league matches, having fallen to away defeats at both Manchester United and Everton last week.
  • The Blues remain confined to the bottom half of the Premier League, with goal difference the only thing keeping them as high as 12th.
  • Sheffield United ended a run of four games without a victory last time out, with James McAtee's goal the difference against Brentford.
  • The Blades remain bottom of the Premier League, level on points with Burnley in 19th, but with an 11-goal deficit when it comes to goal difference.
  • A plucky performance from the away side here could see them earn a point, but Chelsea are unbeaten in their last three matches at home, and should just about get the job done here.

  • Sheffield win atleast half time or second half

  • 3-1

  • 2-1

  • double chance Sheffield united

  • The Blades to hit Chelsea with a surprise win.

  • Chelsea is 4-1-1 when Colwill starts at LB and plays there exclusively. They are 5-1-2 overall when you factor in starts at LB when he eventually switched back to CB. Chelsea is 1-0-2 in Badiashile's 3 starts. Only two of Disasi's 14 starts have come at RB. Sheffield is 1-1-8 when Thomas starts and 1-1-4 when he doesn't. Sheffield is 1-2-4 when Baldock starts but merely 1-0-8 when he doesn't. And finally, Sheffield is winless (0-1-5) when McBurnie starts.

  • Die hard Chelsea fan, but seriously uninterested in their games any longer...low goals, definitely high cards 0ver 4, corners and shots but little to show, kinda wish Sheffield turns up so Poch gets it

  • W1 BTTS

  • Chelsea to win this one easily here
