THE PREDICTION
Bottom placed Sheffield Utd picked up only their third win of the season last time out with a crucial 2-1 triumph over fellow relegation battlers West Brom. However, the Blades failed to back up their last two victories in the Premier League, losing the match immediately after and Chelsea will be hoping that run continues here. Thomas Tuchel has made an instant impact since taking charge, with his side picking up seven points from a possible nine without conceding a single goal. Their 0-1 win away at Tottenham this past Thursday sees the Blues enter this contest full of confidence and with plenty of strength in depth within the Chelsea squad, Tuchel is in the luxurious position of facing a selection headache leading into this contest. When taking into account how solid they have looked defensively under the former PSG boss, the visitors are not only expected to win here but to also keep a clean sheet.
