Chelsea’s Predicted XI: We predict Frank Lampard’s starting XI as Chelsea travel to face Sheffield United in the Premier League.

The Blues will be facing their first game outside of London for over two weeks, as they look to hold on to their slender third placed lead.

The chasing pack of Leicester City and Manchester United are just one and two points behind so Chelsea know any slip-up could prove costly.

After a nervy final period against Crystal Palace midweek, manager Frank Lampard will be desperate for his side to earn all three points against the Blades.

However, it’s sure to be a difficult afternoon as Chris Wilder’s side have gone back to their pre-lockdown form having gained seven points from their last three matches.

So what team will Lampard pick to try and overcome the Eagles. Here we predict the Chelsea boss’ XI…

Goalkeeper: Despite being dropped by Lampard before lockdown, Kepa returned to the side and will be expected to keep his place again.
