Chelsea Predicted XI: We predict Frank Lampard’s starting XI as Chelsea welcome Sheffield United to Stamford Bridge this afternoon

Forwards: Timo Werner was due to start on the bench against Burnley last weekend and we expect that to happen today with Olivier Giroud given a chance from the start. Calllum Hudson-Odoi will be given licence to attack down the flank, where we believe Tammy Abraham could start on the opposite side in a much-changed attack for Chelsea. However, Werner and the other attack-minded players will be on the bench and raring to go, if the starters don’t perform.

Predicted XI: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, Emerson, Kante, Kovacic, Mount, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud.
