Chelsea vs Sheffield United Preview & Prediction
Facing the possibility of enduring three consecutive Premier League defeats for the first time under Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea are set to welcome a resurgent Sheffield United to Stamford Bridge this Saturday afternoon.
The Blues’ struggles continued with a 2-0 loss to Everton last weekend, while Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United secured a 1-0 victory against an injury-hit Brentford in their last outing.
The defeat at Goodison Park highlighted Chelsea’s defensive woes, making it the fifth consecutive Premier League match in which they conceded at least two goals.
With Pochettino’s side losing two more defensive players to injury in Reece James and Robert Sanchez, Sheffield United have good reason to aim to extend Chelsea’s difficulties during the festive period.
Despite the Blades’ hard-fought victory against Brentford, they remain bottom of the Premier League table. However, they are now only behind Burnley on goal difference and need to make up just a one-point deficit to catch up with Luton Town, whom they face on Boxing Day.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Sheffield United

Chelsea vs Sheffield United Betting Tips
- Under 3.5 goals @ 4/7
- Raheem Sterling first goalscorer @ 17/4
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 7/1
Chelsea vs Sheffield United Betting Tip 1: Under 3.5 goals @ 4/7
A low-scoring Chelsea win looks the play here. Pochettino may well resort to a more defensively solid approach, given the absences in his squad, and look to grab a professional win at home.
Besides, Sheffield United are the only team in the Premier League yet to win an away game this season and have scored the fewest goals away from home.
Chelsea vs Sheffield United Betting Tip 2: Raheem Sterling first goalscorer @ 17/4
Despite being left out of Gareth Southgate’s recent England squads, Raheem Sterling is performing well at Chelsea and is slowly getting back to his best.
Likely to be up against makeshift left-back Auston Trusty, Sterling should cause his opponent plenty of trouble and could even get on the scoresheet. His price of over 4/1 to score the first goal appeals.
