Team news
Chelsea made one change. Kovacic in for Jorginho
Sheffield United made three changes. Norwood, Lundstram and McGoldrick for Ampadu, Osborn and McBurnie.

Right from the first whistle Sheffield United were on the front foot and they definitely caught Chelsea by....

surprise and were rewarded for their early efforts. After two corners that were crossed into the box, they caught Chelsea napping and played a short corner. A neat one two between Norwood and Baldock opened up the space down the right from which Baldock crossed low to Berge who..

mis-hit his shot straight to McGoldrick. He then finished smartly with a flick that left Mendy in goal with no chance. This was the first goal that Mendy has conceded in the Premier League for Chelsea and it also meant that three of McGoldrick's four Premier League goals have...

come against Chelsea.

However, this seemed to wake Chelsea and Ziyech up, who you could argue for being at fault for the Sheffield United goal. In the 24th minute Ziyech played a perfectly weighted left footed ball over the top of Sheffield United's defence that Kovacic ran...

onto and cut back to Abraham who placed it perfectly in the far corner. Then eleven minutes later, Ziyech's left foot was the creator again. He whipped in a beautiful ball to the back post that just hit the onrushing Chilwell and ended up in the back of the net. The goalkeeping..

here from Ramsdale was questionable as he failed to be commanding when the ball came in which allowed Chilwell to reach the ball. This meant Chelsea went into the break 2-1 up.

Up until the third goal on the 77th minute mark, Chelsea dominated the play with Ziyech once again...

at the centre of everything good. Then just as frustration might have begun to creep in the third goal came. Ziyech was stood over a free kick, not a too dissimilar position to the one he scored with Ajax last season, and then whipped in a teasing ball to the near post that...

Silva gratefully accepted and glanced the ball into the far corner but Chelsea weren't done there. A few minutes later the rebound from a blocked challenge fell to Werner through on goal and he smashed it past Ramsdale, moments after chipping just wide.

What will concern Chris..

Wilder the most is the lack of chances his side created tonight and how little influence some of his players had, including Brewster. On the other hand, Lampard will be pleased with yet another win going into the international break but will be concerned about how the first...

goal came about.

Man of the match: Hakim Ziyech

Chelsea move up to 3rd whilst Sheffield United stay in 20th.
