That change sees centre-back Andreas Christensen drop out with 21-year-old Fikayo Tomori taking his place alongside Kurt Zouma.

Snap! One change for Chris Wilder too as Oli McBurnie makes his first Premier League start for the club. He’s in for David McGoldrick.

Afternoon

14:45: Hello everyone and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Chelsea vs Sheffield United from Stamford Bridge.

Sorry I’ve arrived late – I was busy watching Manchester United extend their run of winless games to three. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side failed to beat 10-man Southampton.

Strange to thing of the opening day of the season now. How exactly did they thrash Chelsea 4-0?! Crazy stuff.

Frank Lampard’s side have come along way since then. Putting in a decent shift against Liverpool in the Super Cup and registering their first win of the season over Norwich.

Now they face a different proposition altogether. Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United, who have no intentions of simply making up the numbers.

The sides…

Sheffield United XI: Henderson, Basham, Egan, O’Connell, Baldock, Lundstram, Norwood, Freeman, Stevens, McBurnie, Robinson.

Subs: Moore, Sharp, McGoldrick, Stearman, Mousset, Osborn, Besic.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Emerson, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pulisic, Mount, Barkley, Abraham.

Subs: Caballero, Willian, Alonso, Christensen, Giroud, Batshuayi, Gilmour.
