Sheffield United and Chelsea both have European aspirations at stake when they clash at Bramall Lane on Saturday at 5:30 PM.
The Blades put a three-game losing streak behind them to take seven points from their last three games against Tottenham Hotspur, Burnley and Wolves.
As a result, Chris Wilder’s men have climbed back into seventh place, just a point behind Wolves in sixth and seven behind fifth-placed Manchester United with four games to go.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have recovered well from their shock defeat against West Ham, beating Watford and Crystal Palace 3-0 and 3-2, respectively.
Frank Lampard’s side are third in the Premier League, a point ahead of fourth-placed Leicester City and two clear of Manchester United.
The Blues are in pole position for Champions League qualification but with games against Man Utd, Liverpool and Wolves still to come between now and the end of the season, they won’t be taking anything for granted.
