In-form Chelsea is flying high on the coattails of a comeback win over Manchester United as it prepares to host Sheffield United
It truly is make-or-break time for Sheffield United at home to Chelsea on Sunday if Chris Wilder’s men are to have any hope of pulling off the great escape to remain in the Premier League for next season. The Blades have just eight games to save their top-flight future and enter Week 32 stranded 10 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table, having won just one of their last 13 Premier League fixtures. Chelsea, on the other hand, makes its way to Bramall Lane having crushed Manchester United 4-3 on Thursday thanks to two goals after the 100-minute mark.

Minor as it may be, Sheffield United recently took a step forward of late after going undefeated in back-to-back league games for the first time since November.
Struggling to last the 90 minutes has been the story of its season, however, after taking two-goal leads with less than 20 minutes remaining against Bournemouth and Fulham—only to draw each time.
Wilder’s side were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool in their last outing on Thursday, which has left the club with even less time to enact what would be a miraculous rebellion against relegation.
Chelsea, on the other hand, held its nerve to make it six matches undefeated after striking in the 100th and 101st minutes to defeat the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge in midweek:
Mauricio Pochettino is in a race against time to make the most of Chelsea’s campaign, which could theoretically still end with a place in Europe next season.
It would require a Herculean run-in from the west Londoners to make that happen, knowing the likes of Manchester United, West Ham, Newcastle and Brighton above them must drop considerable points.
However, just as the Blades can’t afford to give up in their efforts to cut a path to safety, the Blues must remain brazen if they’re to fashion some success from an otherwise miserable season.
