The visiting Chelsea side should be favourites in this visit to Sheffield United, as the away team holds a 25 point advantage from their 22 league games this season.
- Sheffield United has the fewest clean sheets (1) in Premier League
- Chelsea have scored more than double the goals of Sheffield United.
The visiting Chelsea played their last game only three days ago, a Premier League match. That game, against Tottenham Hotspur, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Chelsea.
Sheffield United form and stats
Sheffield United's results here at Bramall Lane in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 8 defeats.
A nice win for Sheffield last time playing, versus West Bromwich Albion. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Billy Sharp and Jayden Bogle scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Sheffield lost 0-1 at Manchester City's place.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Sheffield, as the FA Cup home game vs Bristol City is only three days away.
Sheffield United have scored 8 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Sheffield have conceded 16 goals.
Chelsea form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Chelsea have produced an overall stat of 5-2-4 so far.
The Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 319 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Two travels in a row for Chelsea, whose manager T. Tuchel could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Tottenham Hotspur. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Burnley.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Chelsea manager T. Tuchel as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Barnsley.
The visiting Chelsea have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 11 games. Chelsea have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Chelsea - Sheffield United 4-1. Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: one win for Sheffield, one draw and three wins for Chelsea. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
