Chelsea-Sheffield United is a match of the 17th day of the Premier League and is played Saturday at 4 pm: tv, formations, predictions.
Eleven points away from the Europe zone. Twenty-six goals scored and as many conceded. A situation that for a couple of years now seems to have no way out. And if we don’t start winning then things could also get complicated for Pochettino, who has been sitting on the Blues’ bench since this summer and was hoping, of course, to be in a different situation now.
In Chelsea, investment does not lead to results, it is quite evident. A team that cannot express itself as well as it could – given the men it has on the roster – and that especially mentally is stuck. Shock against Sheffield? Well, to say in this way is quite exaggerated for a very simple reason: the guests are last in the standings with 8 points and the salvation zone is already five lengths away with two formations in between. In short, on the seventeenth day Sheffield looks pretty much doomed, and should not create who knows what kind of problems for Chelsea. Never say never? We hear your question or interpretation. But we can’t, of course, not say that this match won’t end with a win for the Blues.
Also because, should the three points not come, really Pochettino could be exonerated. And the only thing that perhaps has really come out in this long period of lack of results, is that the team still follows, obviously also misinterpreting tactics, the directions of its coach. So a victory will come for him as well.
The prediction
For Chelsea it is a chance not only to win, but also to score a certain number of goals – and not to take any – in one match. Match of at least three total goals that will unlock in the first half. And with only one scoring lineup.
