The battle for survival is very real for Sheffield United and their next task is a very tricky looking one against Chelsea. The Blades have been stoic in recent weeks, without picking up any results of note and a return to the Championship does seem rather inevitable. Meanwhile, Chelsea are improving a little under Mauricio Pochettino and they start as the strong favourites for this one with many EPL betting apps.

Sheffield United vs Chelsea Analysis
Sheffield United need points if they are to stay afloat but they look doomed for the drop with many EPL betting sites.
Sheffield United
With a big gap formed to the sides above them in the fight for survival, Sheffield United will be able to play completely without pressure here against Chelsea. It was a mindset that helped them against Liverpool last time out, even though they ended up succumbing to pressure when it mattered and losing 3-1. They are going down unless something drastic changes at Bramall Lane and unfortunately for them, they have been the favourites for relegation with most Premier League betting sites since the early days of the season.
Team news: John Egan, Tom Davies, and Chris Basham continue to sit on the sidelines for the Blades through injury.
Sheffield United Predicted Lineup:
Wes Foderingham, Jaydon Bogle, Jack Robinson, Anel Ahmedhodžić, George Baldock, Gustavo Hamer, Vinícius Souza, James McAtee, Cameron Archer, Ben Brereton-Diaz & Oli McBurnie.
Chelsea
Winning in the dying embers of any game is always sweet and doing it by scoring twice past the 100-minute mark is even better. Chelsea managed to produce something special to overcome Manchester United in midweek, a result that should give them plenty of confidence here. The blues have lacked consistency this season but stringing two wins together would help them hugely.
Team news: Wesley Fofana, Robert Sanchez, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Levi Colwill and Christopher Nkunku will miss out here for the blues.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Dorde Petrovic, Marc Cucurella, Malo Gusto, Benoit Badiashile, Axel Disasi, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling, Cole Palmer & Nicholas Jackson.
Sheffield United vs Chelsea Prediction
Neither side will be fearing this one, for very different reasons. With relegation all-but confirmed for Sheffield United, they can play with an increased sense of freedom here and they will be desperate to put on a show for their home fans. Meanwhile, Chelsea are a side who won in the last seconds in midweek, so should arrive in confident mood. This will be a good one, which Chelsea should manage to pick up three points from.
Prediction: Arsenal to win the match – 2/5 (-250) – Rhino Bet.
Sheffield United vs Chelsea – The Ultimate Bet
Chelsea to win & BTTS – 27/10 (+270) – Fitzdares
Visiting Bramall Lane has been a happy hunting ground for most sides this season and whilst Sheffield United should trouble Chelsea’s leaky defence, the blues should have the firepower to win here.
