Sheffield United vs Chelsea head-to-head Premier League record

The Blues and the Blades meet for the fourth time at Bramall Lane in the Premier League and first time since 2006/07.

After winning their first three Premier League games against Chelsea between 1992 and 1993, Sheffield United are winless in their last four against the Blues.

Dave Bassett was in charge the last occasion Sheffield Utd beat the Blues at Bramall Lane, in November 1993. Willie Falconer scored the only goal in the first half.
