Chelsea face Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
It’s an interesting selection from Mauricio Pochettino. In goal, Djordje Petrovic replaces the injure Robert Sanchez, making his first Chelsea start.
Axel Disasi plays at right back, covering for our two injuries there, and Levi Colwill plays on the left, covering for our two injuries there.
In the middle, it’s Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile.
Midfield sees a change – Enzo Fernandez is on the bench, but Conor Gallagher and Moises Caicedo keep their place.
Cole Palmer seems to be replacing Enzo, with Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk out wide.
Nicolas Jackson leads the line.
And finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for – Christopher Nkunku is on the bench. The rest of our subs are pretty weak – two goalkeepers and a couple of academy kids.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Sheffield United (kick off at 15:00 GMT)

Not happy about the lineup. Hope he will be replaced by a manager who is better in tactics and good in selection of players to play . Is the same weekend week out nothing changes . Hope they lost to sack this manager who have no clue about tactics. His one dimensional manager. Spurs didn’t get premier league trophy because of his low tactics .
