Chelsea vs Sheffield Utd – Preview, and Prediction
Chelsea vs Sheffield Utd – Chelsea, having lost their last two road games against Manchester United and Everton, is back at Stamford Bridge.
When Sheffield United, who are currently at the bottom of the league, visit the capital on Saturday afternoon, they will be heavy favorites to take the game and go back to their winning ways.
Mauricio Pochettino started Armando Broja in the last third and benched Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill, and Raheem Sterling at Goodison Park over the weekend.
The Blues lost 0–2 at Everton and consequently fell to 12th place in the Premier League rankings, so this did not bring them much success.
Positively, Chelsea has won two and drawn its previous three home games in all competitions. In the process, they have scored nine goals.
With Sheffield United having the worst defensive record in the division, there are many grounds to believe that the home team will put on a high-scoring performance on Saturday.
James McAtee scored a long-range goal in the first half of the match against Brentford at Sheffield United’s home stadium, giving the team their second victory of the year.
The Blades have improved under new manager Chris Wilder, but they still have a poor road record—seven of their seven Premier League away games have yielded one point.
