How can I watch Chelsea v Sheffield United? Who is the ref? What are the latest odds? Early team news

When is the game? What time is kick-off?

Chris Wilder’s side have lost six of their opening seven league games and face another tricky encounter, after defeats in their previous two matches against Liverpool and Manchester City, in West London on Saturday evening.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm.

Is Chelsea v Sheffield United on TV? How can I follow it live?

Yes, Chelsea v Sheffield United is on TV.

The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports from 5pm via its Main Event and Premier League channels.

But don’t forget, The Star will also be running a comprehensive live blog with team news, live updates, reaction and analysis from Danny Hall and James Shield - who will be one of a handful of people allowed access to the game in the capital.

Is there any injury news? Who is in the teams?

United have no fresh injury worries following their 1-0 defeat against Manchester City at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

The only notable absentees are long-term injury victims Jack O’Connell (knee), who is expected to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing knee surgery in September, and Lys Mousset (toe).

Mousset also went under the surgeon’s knife after sustaining a ‘rare injury’ to his toe in a pre-season game with Preston North End, but could be back in action before Christmas.

Blades boss Wilder is also without the services of midfielder John Fleck, who has been sidelined since suffering a back injury on international duty with Scotland earlier this season.

Meanwhile, Lampard has confirmed that American winger Christian Pulisic’s hamstring injury – suffered in the pre-match warm-up at Burnley at the weekend – is not serious and could return for this coming weekend’s clash with United.

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was not named in the squad for the game at Turf Moor on Saturday as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury, which has seen him miss the Blues' last three matches.

Scottish youngster Billy Gilmour is back in training after surgery on a knee injury but this weekend’s game has probably come too soon for him.

Who is the referee?

The referee is Jonathan Moss, with Marc Perry and Simon Long his assistants.

Stuart Attwell is the fourth official, with Kevin Friend on VAR duty.

What are the odds?

Sky Bet is offering the following odds on the game:

Chelsea – 4/11

Draw – 4/1

Sheffield United – 7/1

Are any tickets available?
