Match Preview
| After their first Premier League (PL) win under new manager Frank Lampard, Chelsea face newly-promoted opposition for the second match in succession. The ‘Blues’ are massive favourites here, and have curiously seen three of their last four PL home wins over newcomers yield precisely a two-goal margin. |
| At present, Chelsea are unbeaten in ten home league outings (W6, D4), and by extension, each of Chelsea’s last eight PL home wins have seen them win the second half ‘to-nil’. Within that group, three of Chelsea’s last five PL home victories have involved them winning both halves. |
| Sheffield United finally tasted their first defeat of 2019/20 after a spirited display against Leicester (Aug 24). In turn, each of their three PL fixtures this term have yielded a final margin of under 1.5 goals between the sides. |
| The ‘Blades’ lost both H2Hs in their last full PL campaign (2006/07), losing each half ‘to-nil’ (5-0 aggregate). However, hopes of improving on this are fuelled by the fact that Sheffield United have equalised on two of the three occasions they have gone behind in the PL this season. |
| Players to watch: After a tough month, Tammy Abraham poached the first and last goals in Chelsea’s last win, opening the scoring inside the first five minutes. |
| Oliver McBurnie’s second-half equaliser for United vs Leicester (Aug 24) got him off the mark for 2019/20. Nine of his last 12 league match goals (across all leagues) have arrived beyond the hour mark. |
| Stat attack: Four of Chelsea’s last five PL home games against newly-promoted sides have seen exactly two match goals. |
| Chelsea have not lost at home to a newly-promoted PL side in the league since December 2015. |
| Five of the (total) six goals scored across Sheffield United’s PL matches this term have come in the second half. |
