Hello, and welcome to our live coverage of this Premier League match between Chelsea and Sheffield United!
Now, let’s take a look at the team news!
Chelsea (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, Fikayo Tomori, Kurt Zouma, Emerson; Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, Ross Barkley; Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount.

Sheffield United substitutes: Simon Moore, Lys Mousset, David McGoldrick, Richard Stearman, Muhamed Besic, Ben Osborn, Billy Sharp.
Both sides are walking out onto the pitch. Not long to go now!
It will be interesting to see how both of these sides change things in the second half. For Chelsea, they have a comfortable lead and may look to bring on another midfielder or defender around the hour mark to see out the match. As for Sheffield United, their two leading scorers last season, Sharp and McGoldrick, are both on the bench and could be turned to sooner rather than later to try and get their side on the scoreline.
As for what's next for these sides, Chelsea will hope to shake off their disappointment before travelling to face Wolves next Saturday while Sheffield United will look to carry the momentum from the second half right into their match against Southampton at the weekend.
That will do it for our live coverage of this Premier League match between Chelsea and Sheffield United! We hope you enjoyed following along, and will join us again soon!
