Sheffield United vs Chelsea Prediction & Match Preview

Chelsea will have a nice opportunity to continue their fine four-game unbeaten thread on travels this weekend. The Blues head over to Bramall Lane to take on the rock-bottomed Sheffield United in Matchday No 32 on Sunday afternoon.

• Chelsea bagged two or more goals in five subsequent matches across competitions.
• Sheffield United own by far the weakest defensive record in the Premier League.
• The Blades conceded five or more goals in four of the previous five home matches in all competitions.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men are heavy favourites going into this tie. They entered Thursday’s clash against Manchester United with just one defeat in the last nine outings across competitions. The Blues have won three and drawn two of the last five matches along the way.

Sheffield United have been the worst team in the top flight of English football so far in the season. They did somehow managed to hold the likes of Bournemouth and Fulham to consecutive draws in recent outings. Nevertheless, the Blades were still by far the inferior side on the pitch in both these affairs.

Recent Meetings

• On top of form, Chelsea have tradition to back them up here. The Blues won each of the previous four encounters with the Blades.
• The Blues picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory over Sheffield United in the reverse game played in December last year at Stamford Bridge.
• Five of the last seven H2H outings produced three or more goals.

Sheffield United vs Chelsea Prediction

Sheffield United are just not capable to defend at this level of football. They own by far the worst defensive record in the division. The Blades shipped 77 goals in the inaugural 29 games of the season.

Chris Wilder’s men shipped at least three goals in three of the last five Premier League affairs. Chelsea, on the other side, notched at least two goals in five subsequent outings across competitions going into Thursday’s match against Manchester United. We will back Chelsea to win & Over 3.5 goals as the main betting option at the attractive 2.62 odds.

The second bet will come from the anytime goalscorer market. It is great to have a starting Chelsea forward as an option to score anytime at plus odds against the worst defensive line in the division. Nicolas Jackson has nine goals to his name in this term of the Premier League. He is well worth backing to score anytime on Sunday at the 2.10 odds.
