Sheffield United are still missing injured centre backs Jack O'Connell and Jack Robinson. That’s a big problem with Ethan Ampadu unable to face parent club Chelsea.
Left back Enda Stevens is out injured alongside midfielders Sander Berge and Ben Osborn. Right back George Baldock was forced off injured against West Brom and is a major doubt.
Chelsea Form
Chelsea eased to a 3-1 home win over Luton Town in the FA Cup. Tammy Abraham grabbed a hat-trick. The match would be boss Frank Lampard's last in charge, with Thomas Tuchel replacing him at the helm.
Tuchel’s first game in charge was a drab 0-0 stalemate with Wolves at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea bossed the fixture with 79% possession, but just couldn’t find a way to score.
The Blues then brushed Burnley aside at home, running out 2-0 victors thanks to goals from defenders César Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. They had 71% possession and 19-1 shots.
Chelsea’s last runout was a 1-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby. Jorginho scored from the spot to secure the points after Timo Werner was fouled in the box.
