CHELSEA VS SHEFFIELD UTD MATCH ANALYSIS
After recording a comfortable 0-3 win at Burnley, Chelsea will be hoping to get back in top four when they host Sheffield Utd at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have been scoring goals for fun in all competitions of late (except for a goalless draw against Man Utd), and summer signings are starting to pay off. Timo Werner and Havertz look impressive, and Hakim Ziyech seems to be helping the team improve their game. It is no wonder Frank Lampard’s troops are seen as favourites in Saturday’s clash.
The visitors have had a disappointing start, which is a worrying situation for the Blades, as they continue their seven-games winless streak, similar to the one from the back end of the last season. After losing to defending champions Liverpool two weeks ago (2-1), they were also defeated by the runners-up Manchester City in the last round (0-1), which puts them in 19th,, with only them and the bottom placed Burnley being without a win in the premier League.
Chelsea shipped 54 goals last season, more than any other top ten team,but have invested heavily in attacking options rather than defensive reinforcements, which could prove costly by the end of this campaign. Having in mind that it is at the back where they are most vulnerable, Lampard was pleased that they kept the clean sheet against Man Utd and repeated the same against Burnley.
Chelsea ended a run of back-to-back goalless draws by emphatically beating Russian Premier League side FK Krasnodar 4-0 in the Champions League and continued in the same style against the Clarets.Ziyech grabbed a goal and and added an assist in his first ever Premier League start, much to Lampard’s liking. They were rarely threatened at the back, and are huge favourites against struggling Sheffield side.
As for the Blades, they need to quickly turn their fortunes around and in Chris Wilder they should have a manager who would know how to get them back to winning ways. However, it will be awfully hard to repeat the last year's campaign and more realistically, the number one objective for 2020/21 will be to ensure they stay up comfortably. Rhian Brewster, a talented attacker from Liverpool, who was signed for £23.5m in a club's record deal has not had a significant impact so far, but he was also deprived of proper service.
They remained winless after a defeat against City, which was always going to be a tall order as they rarely looked like they believed they could cause an upset. They had just one shot on target in this game and have not scored more than one goal in a game so far this season, leaving them heavily reliant on a defence that has yet to keep a clean sheet. Their next visit to Chelsea is hardly a fixture they would look forward to at this moment.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
