By Euan Burns
Chelsea's Premier League campaign under Mauricio Pochettino has stuttered so far and they come into Saturday's visit from Sheffield United aiming to avoid a third consecutive league defeat.
The Blues followed up a limp loss against Manchester United at Old Trafford with a poor display in defeat away at Everton. Things are getting away from Pochettino again, so a home game against the bottom side might be just what the doctor ordered.
However, Sheffield United picked up their first win under Chris Wilder last weekend as they beat Brentford 1-0, meaning they are going to be the most confident iteration of the Blades all season.
Here is all you need to know about Sheffield United's trip to Stamford Bridge this Saturday.

Chelsea vs Sheffield United score prediction
Chelsea have dropped into some horrible form again and the idea of pushing into the Champions League places seems almost laughable at this point, but they are up against one of the worst teams in the league right now.
Fans of the Blues have done well to stay behind the team as best they can this season and with a bit of help from the stands, Pochettino should be able to get a win here. Whether it could be a platform for Chelsea to build from is far less certain.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Sheffield United
