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:

Crucial defending from Maguire to take a dangerous Iwobi cross away from the head of Calvert-Lewin, lurking in the six-yard box.

Rashford is played in on the left and cuts back for Mata, who has time and space on the edge of the box. His shot is tame, though, and blocked on its way towards the bottom right corner.
