Chelsea V Sheffield United: Match Preview And Betting Odds

Chelsea V Sheffield United: Match Preview And Betting Odds

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard will be relieved to have gotten the first three points of his reign with a 3-2 win against Norwich City last weekend.

There is still some improvements to be made, especially in defence, but the victory at Carrow Road saw a lot to build on, including the performances from Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount.

Lampard will face Sheffield United this Saturday with some major injury doubts heading into the game, and the Blades will come to Stamford Bridge having held their own so far in their first three matches back in the top flight.

Chris Wilder’s side narrowly lost to Leicester at home last time out, but after a draw away to Bournemouth and a home win versus Crystal Palace already under their belt, they are likely to provide a stern test for the Blues.

Even so, you would expect Lampard’s men to come out on top, despite the likes of Pedro and N’Golo Kante likely to be missing for the encounter.

At the bookmakers, Chelsea are favourites for the three points with Ladbrokes having them at 4/11 to win. A draw is currently 17/4 with Betway while a victory for the Blades is 19/2 at Betfair.

Predicted Score – 3-1 to Chelsea
