The games are coming thick and fast for Chelsea now as the Premier League reaches its conclusion for another season.
Frank Lampard’s Blues are battling hard for that all important Champions League qualification spot and their fate is in their own hands.
Sheffield United are also in the mix to land a place in next seasons most prestigious European competition, and the two sides face up on Saturday evening in the 5.30pm kick off.
United are 9 points behind Chelsea in 7th place in the league and face an uphill struggle to make top 4/5.
But Chelsea are in third place and really need these 3 points ahead of a tough season run in.
Lampard could still be without the injured N’Golo Kante and Billy Gilmour, but Mateo Kovacic trained again yesterday and is in contention.
I believe he comes in and plays the deep midfield role, whilst Ruben Loftus-Cheek has probably earned a start over Ross Barkley.
Some positive injury news at Chelsea. Kovacic is back in full training after recovery from an Achilles injury and is expected to be available for Saturday's trip to Sheffield United. #cfc
