Prediction
Burnley are in good form right now, and Liverpool are without their captain, but even Sean Dyche will struggle to come up with a way to stop Liverpool in full flow. Liverpool 2-0 Burnley.
50 min: James crosses to the wing back on the other side of the pitch, Alonso, who attacks the ball at the back post. His header is glanced wide and Henderson remains untroubled.
53 min: A swift, direct move from Sheffield United ends with an almost perfect ball from Basham into the path of Osborn. Chelsea are forced to concede a corner, which Barkley heads away.
54 min: Now it's O'Connell who surges forward from the back. The overlapping centre backs are so effective and Chelsea have struggled to deal with it.
55 min: Chelsea have changed their system but it's done little to change the pattern of the game. The hosts are still closing off every possible avenue of attack, though Lampard will probably be hoping they eventually tire.
59 min: Better from Chelsea, who work the ball out to James in space on the right. His cross is a good one, but Egan does enough to put Abraham off.
60 min: A soft free kick is given away by Berge on Barkley. This is in a good position to shoot for one of a number of Chelsea players.
61 min: Barkley takes the free kick, but his effort is blocked by the wall and Sheffield United see out the danger.
63 min: Sheffield United make a couple of changes: Berge and McBurnie make way for Lundstram and Mousset.
65 min: Chelsea look to have exposed Sheffield United at the back as Barkley breaks forward. He picks out Pulisic to his right, but the home side quickly close the door and Egan blocks the shot.
