Follow all the action as Chelsea welcome Sheffield United to Stamford Bridge this afternoon. 

Frank Lampard’s side have shown serious improvements in recent weeks, having now kept a clean sheet in their last five successive matches, and can move into the top four with a victory. 

It’s been a different story for Sheffield United so far, though, with Chris Wilder’s side taking just one point from their opening seven games. Furthermore, the Blades have only scored three goals in total and desperately need a result to kickstart their season. Follow all the action below live:

Chance! Fornals is slipped through on the right and races to the byline. He cuts the ball across the box and Masuaku is waiting at the back post. His driven shot is saved, and then Cresswell sends a stinging effort straight at the goalkeeper.

Over to the London Stadium now, where West Ham host Fulham. The visitors are fresh off the back of their first win of the season, an impressive 2-0 victory over fellow newly-promoted side West Brom.

They’ll be keen to build on that, although a trip to West Ham represents a tough test. David Moyes’ team have taken points off Tottenham and Manchester City in recent weeks, and were only narrowly beaten by Liverpool last weekend.

Hakim Ziyech speaks to Sky Sports: "We played a good game. We controlled it, we created a lot of chances and we could have scored more goals. I feel comfortable in this team."
