Sheffield United vs Chelsea live stream, TV channel and how to watch Premier League clash

Chelsea are hoping to make it back-to-back victories when they play 20th-placed Sheffield United this Sunday afternoon.

Mauricio Pochettino takes his team to South Yorkshire with a fresh wave of confidence following Thursday's last-gasp win against Manchester United. The Red Devils were leading 3-2 up until the ninth minute of injury time, though Cole Palmer completed his hat-trick to win the match for Chelsea in the dying embers.

The result elevated the Blues to 10th in the Premier League standings and with nine fixtures remaining has blown open the race to play in UEFA competition next campaign.

Aston Villa and Tottenham are vying for the last Champions League place with the loser of that battle destined to qualify for the Europa League in fifth. Manchester United then occupy sixth on 48 points, therefore there is only a five-point gap between Chelsea and UEFA's secondary competition.

Seventh place also guarantees Europa Conference League football, with West Ham on 45 points sitting in that position as it stands. In between the Hammers and Chelsea are Newcastle and Brighton, so the fight will likely go down to the wire.

Victory over the league's team in dead last, Sheffield United, is one they cannot afford to slip up on. Chris Wilder's side were defeated 3-1 by Liverpool on Thursday evening, extending their winless streak to six matches.
