Chelsea team confirmed vs Sheffield United: Fikayo Tomori starts, with Billy Gilmour on bench

Chelsea go into this afternoon's clash with Sheffield United looking to make it two wins in a row.

Frank Lampard finally got his first victory last weekend as Blues head coach with a 3-2 victory over Norwich City, while today's newly-promoted side will once again provide a tough challenge.

Lampard will have to get the three points without Antonio Rudiger, N'Golo Kante and Pedro once again, with all three players still recovering from injuries.

Rudiger played a full 90 minutes for the U23s last night in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, and is expected to be back in the first team after the international break.

It means that Lampard is going into today's game at Stamford Bridge with a settled side before some of the players have a break.

However, he has made one change with Fikayo Tomori starting at centre-back and Andreas Christensen on the bench.

Youngster Billy Gilmour is also on the bench for the Blues as well.

Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham have hit some real form, with both having bagged two goals and they start against the Blades.
