Chelsea currently holds 12th position in the Premier League with 19 points after falling to a 2-0 defeat at Everton. Mauricio Pochettino’s team has a modest home record, winning only two of their last eight Premier League home games. Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling have been standout performers for the Blues this season, scoring six and five goals, respectively.
While Sheffield United find themselves at the bottom of the league with five points after 14 matches. The Blades have the league’s worst away record, failing to secure a victory in any of their last seven road games. Oliver McBurnie, Cameron Archer, and Gustavo Hamer share the top scorer position for Sheffield United, each with two goals.
Team news
For the upcoming game, Chelsea are expected to have Romeo Lavia, Conor Gallagher, Ben Chilwell, Malo Gusto, Christopher Nkunku, Reece James, and Marc Cucurella available. However, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, and Carney Chukwuemeka are still unavailable for selection.
Good news for Sheffield United as Oliver McBurnie and Oli Norwood return from suspension, but Jack Robinson will serve a one-game ban for an accumulation of bookings. They will also be without Chris Basham, John Egan, Rhian Brewster, Daniel Jebbison and Tom Davies. George Baldock could feature, while this game may come too soon for Rhys Norrington-Davies.
Possible line-ups
Chelsea: Sanchez (GK), Disasi, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Gallagher, Sterling, Palmer, Jackson.
Sheffield United: Foderingham (GK), Bogle, Ahmedhodzic, Trusty, Lowe, Souza, Hamer, Brooks, Archer, McAtee, McBurnie.
