We simulated Sheffield United vs Chelsea to get a Premier League score prediction

Chelsea will be looking to keep up their impressive form of late when they make the trip to Sheffield United this afternoon.

As he has done so many times this season, Cole Palmer stole the show for Chelsea in the Blues' last outing, with the Englishman grabbing a hat-trick including goals in the 100th and 101st minute as Chelsea came from behind to beat Manchester United 4-3. It was a huge win for Mauricio Pochettino's side, moving the Blues to 10th and just five points off sixth place with a game in hand.

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 10 games across all competitions, the best run of form they've been in all season. Next up is a trip to bottom of the league Sheffield United, with the Blades having conceded less than three goals at home just once in 2024.

The meeting between the two sides earlier this season ended 2-0 to Chelsea, with Palmer and Nicolas Jackson getting on the scoresheet. So, can Chelsea make it seven unbeaten Premier League games in a row? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that the Blades could line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Gribic; Holgate, Ahmedhodzic, Robinson; Bogle, Souza, Arblaster, Hamer, Osborn; Brereton Diaz, McBurnie.

We predict that Chelsea could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling; Jackson.

Chelsea began on the front foot, and Palmer almost fired the Blues ahead after four minutes when he took aim from a narrow-angle, but his effort skimmed the outside of the near post. Chelsea's dominance continued, and they took a deserved lead
