What TV channel is Sheffield United vs Chelsea on? Kick-off time, team news and odds

Chelsea are back in action again tonight as they travel to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United.

It's been an almost faultless restart to the Premier League for the Blues as they've beaten Aston Villa, Manchester City, Watford and Crystal Palace as well as reaching the FA Cup semi-final.

The only setback has been that disappointing 3-2 loss against London rivals West Ham United.

Meanwhile, the Blades are slowly returning to form following defeats at the hands of Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Arsenal straight after the restart.

Chris Wilder's side got back to winning ways against Tottenham Hotspur nine days ago and have taken four points from their last two outings - including a last-gasp winner against Wolves in midweek.

This evening's game won't settle the Champions League race, but it could go a long way to deciding who claims a top-four place come the end of the season.

The Blues are currently sitting third and have a chance to send a message to Leicester City and the Red Devils who aren't in action until tomorrow night and Monday respectively.
