Back Chelsea to win to nil at 1.90 (bet365)
Back the Chelsea 2-0 Sheffield United correct score at 6.10 (Unibet)
Under new manager Thomas Tuchel Chelesa have gone 3-2-0 at home without conceding a single goal. All three of their wins were by 2-0 scorelines. Sheffield United parted ways with manager Chris Wilder prior to their latest Premier League game and under interim manager Paul Heckingbottom they suffered a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Leicester City. It was their worst league defeat since April 2000, which suggests things are going to get worse before they get better. The Blades have gone 1-1-15 away from home in the Premier League over the last 12 months.
