Sheff Utd 2-2 Chelsea: Analysis

Since suffering the third in a series of heavy home defeats - a 6-0 thrashing by Arsenal - at the start of March, Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder will be satisfied with the response his side have shown.

Despite their desperate position at the foot of the table, with an immediate return to the Championship looming, the Blades backed up draws against Bournemouth and Fulham by giving title-chasing Liverpool a scare in midweek and earning a hard-fought draw with Chelsea on Sunday.

Oli McBurnie's stoppage-time equaliser was a deserved reward for United's efforts - and the fight shown by the players was not lost on the Bramall Lane crowd who rallied behind the hosts with Chelsea appearing vulnerable.

While the point barely improves their situation - they are nine points adrift of safety with 21 points available - Wilder will hope they can maintain this level of performance for the remainder of the campaign to ensure they arrive at a summer rebuild with optimism.
