That's all from us for today. You can join us again tomorrow for live coverage of Leeds v Crystal Palace.

Have a good evening.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United Chris Wilder speaking to BBC Sport: "Chelsea are flying it was a huge challenge in front of us as it has been all season and more recently playing Man City Man United and Chelsea - there's no time to get your head up we knew they'd have over 75%-80% possession thought shape was good. We can look at the goal and think there's certain things we could've done but from their point of view it's a great goal. We get into those kind of positions but unfortunately we can't find that quality to put us in front. We get ourselves back in the game and incredibly disappointing because we have to work so hard in this division so to self inflict that and give them the goal is really disappointing.

"I think we did pick ourselves up - it's an attribute the team have. It's a tough division and these are cup finals - we had 38 cup finals last year and we have to get up for the challenge every time, when things aren't going our way because of form and disruption we have to keep going. I thought we did that, we changed it, it opened up for them late on but I don't think we went out the back door. We just are a little bit naive and had a lack of quality late on in the game.

On the penalty decision: "I haven't looked at it again but I thought it was a penalty. If it's given and the decision's made then fair enough but we shouldn't have got in that situation. We got ourselves back in the game and we used our confidence to get in the game against a very talented side and the ridiculous quality they have. Reece James and Mason Mount are brilliant - the players coming through the academy are top class. When you make elementary mistakes then it's going to be a difficult night for you."

On Aaron Ramsdale head injury: "It's the first game into concussion substitutions so the doctor has a decision to make and we rely on him to make the right decision - there's no cutting corners on that stuff so if he had to come off he would've come off because the health and safety is more important than anything else."

Liverpool's defeated body language at the final whistle and the mood of resignation as manager Jurgen Klopp shook hands with his triumphant Manchester City counterpart Pep Guardiola on Sunday were symbolic of what may prove the defining day in the Premier League title race.

Klopp and Liverpool's players will not say it, the towel will certainly not be coming in - but to all intents and purposes the game is up for the reigning champions when it comes to defending their crown.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder tells Sky Sports: "About £500m-£1bn (difference) of quality to call on. We can analyse the first goal, should John Egan get over, should someone get done but quite decent them players aren't they? They punish when you open the door for them. The second goal was very disappointing from our point of view, getting punished by a loose backpass and then tired to force the issue. We went long and direct but it just would not fall for us, I have been critical of my team to show composure when the bullets are flying towards you. Loose touch, when to go round or play direct and we got that wrong a couple of times. We won't play Chelsea again and that one is out of the way.

"They were huge opportunities we had and we have to take them at this level. I don't want a pat on the back for having a go, my team is always up against it in an incredibly tough division we are playing in. You are up against Chelsea with the quality they have got and can all upon form their bench. We are fighting and punching and we will keep that belief from now until the end of the season. Both boxes have hurt us, they have found that quality and we have not found that end bit to get something from the game.

"Everybody around us felt it was a penalty and the decision was made so no real complaints about that one. Aaron Ramsdale made a commitment and these players are cute and smart and showed the qualities in that moment.

"I don't see how anyone can have another opinion, we are massive underdogs and were fighting with one arm behind our back last season and maybe two now with a blindfold on. We has 38 cup finals last year, for the players to keep going with a quick turnaround into this year, it makes it even tougher, I don't see a team that had just accepted what people are talked about them, there are still 15 games to go but i do believe. We have played Man City, Chelsea, Man United in three of the last four games, thankfully they are gone. No disrespect to the other teams we are going to play and I hope they will be closer to get some results on the board. Whether it will be enough I don't know."

Sheffield United have 15 games to go. They are sneaking towards that two points needed a game mark if they want to hit the 35 that has meant safety for the last few seasons.

Two points a game average used to be the benchmark for title challengers.

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, speaking to BBC Sport: "It was a tough game to watch. Many situations where it was difficult and many things can happen. Lots of long balls and crosses. We could control the game in the opponent half for many minutes, but then you get the deep ball in your half. They had some self-confidence because if their recent wins. I am happy with the responses to the questions we were asked.

"We were lucky in the beginning not to concede first. We were not aggressive enough. But then you want to play with a clean sheet. Normally it should not happen between goalkeeper and defender but mistakes happen. The response was good though."

On Timo Werner: "Today he was very strong. He is getting stronger and stronger every game. It was an important moment for the penalty against Tottenham. He was unlucky with some shots there. Today he has a boost of self confidence and gives a goos assist for the first goal. He was brave enough to go around the keeper for the second. I am happy for him. We hope to get everybody in good shape. For the strikers it is important that they are involved goals. You can feel this in the last few games.

"We go step by step and will always prepare every match to win. We have a team that is ready and wants to win. It creates a winning mentality. You can feel this when you step through the door at the training ground."

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel speaking to Sky Sports: "We arrive in February in Sheffield you know what's waiting for you, it feels like a cup game when you arrive here, against a team that are full of energy and very direct and physical you have to accept that not all moments are easy in the game. We stayed positive all the time with some difficult moments to overcome. Deserved win in general happy with that and from that you build confidence and it's always easier to proceed.

"We had some moments where we could control the game in the middle, where we found the solution under pressure we had some easy ball losses where we played a bit too much. The solution would've been in the front or middle to calm things down. First 10-15 minutes were difficult to overcome because they started with a lot of courage, we were lucky with the penalty."

On Timo Werner: "When he plays like this we are happy it was a big step forward. He won the decisive pen against Spurs and tonight, for the first goal it was an amazing run and assist. Goals will come if he carries on like this."

On the own goal: "Still no goal from opponent, we did it ourself. We lacked concentration and communication in that moment. It should not happen but it happened, we have to accept mistakes. Happy with the response that i did not cost us points or confidence so the response was good and we can learn from that.

On his Premier League experience so far: "The type of football is physical and tougher and there is a lot of quality and during matches it never stops. You feel absolute spirit to give everything in every match it brings out the best in every player and it's a pleasure to coach every game because this is what we love and what I love and so far things are going well and we are happy."

Chelsea

Chelsea striker Timo Werner tells Sky Sports: "Overall a good win for us, difficult against a high defending Sheffield United and proud that we continue our last wins. For myself, again no goal but it is good to see I can help the team with other things.

"I am happy when we win and with two assists but as a striker you want to score, it has been a long time and I have not had this long without in my career. The goals will come.

"Every manager is different, he give us a lot of idea and now I play on the left and can play behind the striker or a 10 behind me, that is very good for me and the last wins were also a good move from the manager.

"In the future maybe I can take penalty but in this moment, I need to score some normal goals before taking a penalty.

"It was a clear penalty and I was shocked it was not given straight away. The VAR helps the referee."

Lee Abrahams: Wilder has one plan, defensive counter attacking football and then when they (inevitably) concede he just throws on as many strikers as possible. He’s been massively found out this year.

Sheffield United pressed and pressed but barring that good bit of play by Billy Sharp right at the death they never really created enough clear cut opportunities. The delivery into those vital areas wasn't up to standard and Chelsea defended really well so they just edged it on the night.

Arjun Singh: I actually think Reece James is a strong contender for MoTM. He’s been really strong and positive today.

Matt Dawson: Sheffield United determined right until the end. Far more exciting now.

The game ends with a big chance for Sheffield United as Billy Sharp acrobatically hooks a shot towards goal that Mendy dives to push away.

Chelsea hold on and move up to fifth. Ten points from a possible 12 for Tuchel.

For Sheffield United it is another damaging blow. They're sliding into the Championship.

Good hands by Edouard Mendy there. Dreamy chance for Rhian Brewster - you felt that was his moment. He hit the first shot sweetly but it was blocked and the second one on the left foot half-volley he hit it well on the second go but equally matched by another block by Chelsea.

That might be that. Bogle falls into trap set by Mount and fouls him by the corner flag in the United half.

Two minutes of the added five to go. The ball is in the Blades half.

There was Rhian Brewster's chance. Well, two of them. Chelsea only half clear a free-kick from the left and it drops at the feet of the Blades' record signing. His first shot is blocked, as is his second on the rebound.

We'll have five added minutes. If there were fans here, they'd have roared the home side on at that board going up.

Well done, Andreas Christensen. He dives in to block and head away as Sheffield United fire a cross into the box and towards Billy Sharp.

Into the 90th minute. Now or never for the Blades.

Wilder plays his last card. Rhian Brewster hasn't been given much time, but now would be a mighty good moment to start repaying some of that £23.5m fee. That's four forwards on the pitch for the Blades, with Norwood making way. Why not?
