    Andre Marriner is the referee for this one while Andy Madley is the VAR. Let's hope there is no need for an apology by the Premier League after this one.

    Sheff Utd fought back from two goals down to claim a point when these two sides met at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season.
  • PRVW
    18 degrees and dry in Sheffield this afternoon.
  • PRVW
    7th v 3rd. 51pts v 60pts. Sheffield United are in a Europa League spot at the moment and 7 or 8 points off the Champions League places while Chelsea need the points for a CL place. If City lose their appeal against UEFA ban this Monday, they can breath easy, but if they win it then Lampard's men are only in the top four by two points.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea won 2-3 at Crystal Palace on Tuesday and they make two switches from that one. Jorginho comes in for Gilmour who has undergone knee surgery while Abraham replaces Giroud.
  • PRVW
    McGoldrick in for Billy Sharp is the only change for the Blades from the 1-0 victory over Wolves last Wednesday.

    Chelsea XI: Kepa (GK); Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, James; Mount, Jorginho, Barkley; Pulisic, Abraham and Willian.
