Match Facts
Sheffield United lost 2-1 the last time they hosted Chelsea in the Premier League – they last lost back-to-back home league games against the Blues in October 1965.
Chelsea have won six of their last eight Premier League games against Sheffield United (D1 L1), having lost each of their first three against the Blades in the competition.
Sheffield United have shipped 45 goals in 15 home Premier League matches this season. In Premier League history, only Watford in 2021-22 have conceded more home goals in a season (46).
Chelsea haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 11 away Premier League matches, their worst run without a shutout on the road since going 12 in a row between December 2019 and September 2020.
Since Chris Wilder returned to Sheffield United in December, the Blades have conceded 26 goals in eight home Premier League games, an average of 3.3 per game. It’s the worst goals conceded ratio by a permanent manager in a season on home soil in Premier League history.
Sheffield United have conceded 50 goals on home soil in all competitions this season, becoming just the second Premier League club to do so, along with Derby County in 2007-08 (51).
Chelsea are unbeaten in their last four away matches in all competitions (W2 D2), last enjoying a longer unbeaten run on their travels in Graham Potter’s first five away games in October 2022 (W4 D1).
This will be Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino’s first ever Premier League visit to Bramall Lane – the Argentinian has a 100%-win ratio in Yorkshire, winning all five games by an aggregate score of 16-2 (three wins vs Hull, two wins vs Huddersfield).
Oliver McBurnie has been involved in seven goals in his last seven home Premier League appearances for Sheffield United (5 goals, 2 assists). In the five games he’s scored in at Bramall Lane he hasn’t ended on the winning side (D2 L3), with only Dougie Freedman in 1998-99 scoring in more home games in a season without winning (six).
Cole Palmer has been involved in 11 goals in his last 11 away Premier League appearances for Chelsea (5 goals, 6 assists). He’s the first player aged 21 or younger to both score 5+ goals and assist 5+ goals away from home in a season since Dele Alli for Spurs in 2016-17, which was under Mauricio Pochettino.
