Sheffield Utd - Chelsea Prediction, Picks and Taips
On Saturday, at 17:30, Sheffield United and Chelsea duel in the 35th round of the Premier League. Frank Lampard's team needs points in the fight to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Without Musonda, Tomori, Ampadu, Kante and Kovacic, the white-and-blue band hopes to continue the good form of the move and to break the hermetic defense of Chris Wilder, who worked miracles after promoting the "steelmakers". Sheffield United cannot count on Clarke, Freeman, Fleck and McGoldrick, but the hosts will defend the white draw with their teeth if the 0-0 score persists. Interestingly, the newly promoted team also reached the Europa League, following in the footsteps of Wolverhampton, a real revelation last season in the Premier League.
Chelsea is in 3rd place (goal difference 63-46) and is dueling with Leicester and Manchester United for a place in UCL, having four victories and one failure in the last five stages. Sheffield United is in 7th place (35-33 goal difference) and has not lost for three rounds, having to fight with Arsenal, Tottenham, Wolverhampton and Burnley for a position in the Europa League. So, the stakes are high for both bands! Last season, Sheffield beat the Wolves (1-0), while Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace (3-2) in a very spectacular London derby.
