Sheffield United Preview – Can Sheffield United prove market wrong?
Saturday evening’s hosts, Sheffield United, extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to three matches with their recent midweek 1-0 home win over Wolves and The Blades will hold home advantage once more when they entertain Chelsea at Bramall Lane with the hosts looking well placed to get something from this encounter.
Despite losing 3-0 twice on the trot to Newcastle United and Manchester United, it should be noted that both of these losses were incurred away from home, while at Bramall Lane, Sheffield United have been extremely solid throughout this campaign with a record of 9-3-5 21/14 and losing just one of their previous nine matches.
That defeat came in the shape of a narrow 1-0 loss to Manchester City but this sequence of results also includes wins against Aston Villa, West Ham, Bournemouth, Norwich City, Tottenham and Wolves, while Sheffield United have lost by 2+ goals in just 1 of their 17 home matches to date.
Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea open up gap?
3rd placed Chelsea will be keen to continue their winning momentum in the English top flight at Bramall Lane this Saturday against Sheffield United as The Blues look to pick up a sixth win in seven matches and put some daylight between themselves and 4th placed Leicester City.
Just one point separates Chelsea from Leicester City and two points from a revitalised Manchester United outfit who are also hot on Chelsea’s heels in the race for a top four finish and the lucrative financial windfall a place in the Champions League.
However, although Chelsea sit in 3rd spot and have enjoyed a solid season under Frank Lampard, recent results away from home have been more modest of late as the visitors have registered just four wins from their last 11 matches on their travels and an away record of 9-3-5 36/30 brings no guarantees of maximum points in Yorkshire on Saturday.
