Frank Lampard’s side are in good form in the league having lost just once this season, unbeaten in their last seven in all competitions.Chelsea meet Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon as they attempt to haul in Premier League leaders Liverpool after hitting their stride.

The Blues have been in impressive form of late and can move into the top four this weekend, with victory enough to close the gap to the Reds to just one point as Jurgen Klopp’s side do not play until the trip to Manchester City on Sunday.

With four goals in his last three appearances, Timo Werner also looks to be settling into life in the Premier League, with the Germany international one to watch against a Sheffield United side that is yet to win a game in the Premier League this season.

Chris Wilder’s side have shown an improvement of late, with the 1-1 draw against Fulham to get them off the mark this season followed by narrow defeats by Liverpool and City.However, with the Blades well and truly in the middle of a relegation battle, they know a resurgence is needed to drag them up the table and towards safety.

One positive for his side though is that Chelsea will be missing two key players in their attack, with Kai Havertz forced to self-isolate after testing positive for Covid-19 while Christian Pulisic remains absent through injury after suffering a setback in the warm-up for last weekend’s win over Burnley.

Chelsea will be without Kai Havertz after he tested positive for coronavirus earlier in the week, and will also be unable to call on Christian Pulisic due to the hamstring strain he picked up last weekend.

John Fleck and Lys Mousset remain unavailable for Sheffield United due to injury, while on-loan defender Ethan Ampadu is ineligible to play against his parent club.
Predicted line-ups

Chelsea: Mendy; James, Silva, Zouma, Chilwell; Jorginho, Kante; Ziyech, Mount, Werner; Abraham.Sheffield United: Ramsdale; Basham, Egan, Stevens; Baldock, Berge, Norwood, Osborn, Lowe; McBurnie, Brewster.
Prediction

Sheffield United’s recent resilience could well be broken by what has become a free-scoring Chelsea side. With the Blues at home and Timo Werner hitting his stride after taking time to settle in, Chelsea should continue their good form of late. Chelsea 2-0 Sheffield United.

Chelsea: The Blues are in good form and their key men both in defence and attack have received a lot of plaudits. One who hasn’t, but should, is Tammy Abraham. The Englishman has started in Chelsea’s past two games across all competitions, operating as the striker while Timo Werner plays on the wing. And although Werner has been the one to get the goals, Abraham’s play must be praised. Despite being the striker on paper against Burnley,

Abraham spent most of the game actually closer to N’Golo Kante in midfield than he did the opposition goal. Selflessly looking to aid his team, Abraham’s dropping back allowed Chelsea’s other attacking players to make the most of the space, and the Blues benefitted. His form has earned him a recall for England and it is hard to see Lampard dropping the forward this weekend.

Sheffield United: Rhian Brewster. Arguably Sheffield United’s biggest problem this season has been their lack of goals, with the Blades scoring just three so far, two of which came from the penalty spot. Not a good time to face a Chelsea defence playing with confidence. But one Sheffield United forward who will be aiming to breach the Chelsea defence is Rhian

Brewster, who is yet to get up and running since signing permanently from Liverpool. The Englishman started his footballing career at Chelsea but joined Liverpool in 2015, rising through their ranks instead, but struggled to break into the Reds’ first team. A loan spell at Swansea City last season showed that Brewster is capable of, and while it has not happened yet for him, don’t count against the forward this weekend.
