Sheffield United sit bottom of the Premier League after just one point in seven games. It’s their joint worst ever start to a league campaign, level with 1975-76 when they were relegated from the top flight. Chris Wilder’s shot-shy team need to start picking up points quickly if they want to avoid a difficult second season.
After a patchy start to the season Chelsea are starting to click. Frank Lampard’s team are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games and sit top of their Champions League group after a 3-0 win over Rennes midweek. The Blues will want to continue their improvement as they face struggling Sheffield United.
