GOOD EVENING FROM STAMFORD BRIDGE
Welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Sheffield United.
Much has changed in the world since these sides last met in July, but perhaps nowhere more so than at Bramall Lane.
The Blades sliced through Chelsea that day to record a 3-0 win that lifted them up to sixth place as they looked to finish their first top-flight campaign in 13 years with a flourish – but instead it’s all been downhill.
Chris Wilder’s side have failed to win any of their 11 matches since, have scored just four Premier League goals in that time and go into this one bottom of the table.
They are not helped by the continued absence of injured pair John Fleck and Lys Mousset, while Ethan Ampadu is also unavailable for today’s clash as he is ineligible to face his parent club.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have struck upon a solidity and consistency that evaded them during Frank Lampard’s first season at the helm.
The London club are on a ten-match unbeaten run in all competitions, have kept five consecutive clean sheets and have won the last three by an aggregate 10-0 scoreline.
It’s not all good news for the Blues; Kai Havertz is self-isolating after testing positive for covid-19 while Christian Pulisic is still nursing a hamstring injury.
Nevertheless, all signs point towards a home victory, but Wilder and his squad have made a habit of upsetting the odds.
We’ll have confirmation of the two teams shortly with kick-off at the Bridge to follow at 5.30pm.
