Chelsea’s mixed form since the start of 2024 has been a major reason why they have struggled to mount a challenge for European qualification in recent weeks.
They are unbeaten in their last three away Premier League games, and the Blades have not won at home in 2024, as they prepare for relegation at the end of the campaign.
