Chelsea vs Sheffield United LIVE: Premier League score and latest updates as Blues in control

Yellow Card James John McAtee

GOOD GOALKEEPING! Racing off his line to slide the ball away from Jackson's path, Foderingham makes a crucial intervention on the edge of his area! It seemed the Senegal striker was clean though on goal, but United's goalkeeper was alert to the danger!

A loose touch from Palmer on the edge of the area lets the Blades off the hook. Bogle steps in with a vital interception, after the former Manchester City man was fed a low throughball by Gallagher.

Brooks is penalised for an almost comical foul on Mudryk inside the Chelsea area, as the Blues winger ends up balancing on his opponent's back before crashing down to the turf.

For the third time in a matter of minutes, Jackson is caught offside. Chelsea's attacking rhythm is a little off at the moment, while Sheffield United are defending admirably.

Chelsea are still dictating the tempo, but there has been a distinct lack of clear chances to opening the scoring. It's a little too early, but some fans' thoughts will already be turning to the introduction of substitute Nkunku, who has a lot of hope resting on his shoulders.

McAtee slips a short pass through to the overlapping Bogle on the right edge of Chelsea's area, but the latter's low cross flashes along the hosts' six-yard box without another United team-mate arriving to turn it in. The away side are certainly posing some threat on the break.

Showing great strength to hold off Bogle, the direct running and persistence of Mudryk almost pays off. He gets all the way to the left byline, but his pull-back is then hacked away from the six-yard box by Lowe.

CLOSE! With one thing on his mind, Archer powers inside from the left and flashes a well-struck shot towards the top-right corner, and it only misses the target by a slim margin! Petrovic was scrambling across his goal there!

Mudryk is back on the ball again, but after driving inside from the flank he lashes a wild shot way over the crossbar, with Foderingham able to watch it sail far above his head and into the stand.
