Chelsea's switch from Lampard to Tuchel is already starting to bring benefits. After a slow start and the 0-0 draw in his opening game against cagey Wolverhampton came back to back impressive wins to nil - against Burnley and Tottenham. 3 clean sheets in a row under Tuchel is a remarkable achievement, considering how wobbly Chelsea were defensively under Lampard. The German specialist is defending through possession play - the numbers of possession supremacy have been crazy impressive. In the opener against Wolves Chelsea had the ball at their feet for 81%, which is outstanding even by Pep Guardiola standards.

In the midweek game against Tottenham Chelsea had to be leading by 2 or 3 goals at half-time, but failed to convert numerous semi-chances.

There is just 1 injury concern for visitors tonight - Brazilian centre-back Thiago Silva is out injured.

Sheffield are trying hard to climb out from the bottom of EPL table and achieve the unachievable - avoid seemingly inevitable relegation. To Sheffield’s disappointment, the pack they are currently chasing (Burnley, Fulham, Newcastle and Brighton) is constantly earning points now. So as a result the handicap from life-saving 17th spot is currently stretched to 12 points. With 16 rounds left to be played this margin is serious.

Sheffield’s picked up 3 wins in last 5 rounds, however, 2 of them came against teams you would have expected Chris Wilder’s men to succeed - West Bromwich and Newcastle - whereas the away shocker against Man United was a fortunate fluke.

Hosts have squad issues of greater merit tonight - highest rated player (according to whoscored.com) Ampadu is ineligible to feature due to loan deal clause. A few other regulars are set to miss or rated as doubts.

I expect Chelsea to keep riding the current wave of enthusiasm under new manager and take another win.

切尔西从兰帕德转会到图切尔已经开始带来好处。在经历了一场缓慢的开局和首场对伍尔弗汉普顿的0-0战平之后，他又回到了对伯恩利和托特纳姆的令人印象深刻的0胜。在图切尔的带领下连续3场不失球是一个了不起的成就，考虑到兰帕德的防守是多么的不稳定。这位德国专家通过控球来防守——控球优势的数量令人印象深刻。在对阵狼队的首场比赛中，切尔西的控球率达到81%，即使以瓜迪奥拉的标准来看，这也是非常出色的。

在周中对阵托特纳姆热刺的比赛中，切尔西不得不在半场领先2到3个球，但却没能抓住很多机会。

今晚客队只有1人受伤——巴西中后卫蒂亚戈·席尔瓦因伤缺阵。

谢菲尔德正努力从英超积分榜的底部爬出来，并实现不可实现的目标——避免看起来不可避免的降级。让谢菲尔德失望的是，他们现在追逐的球队(伯恩利，富勒姆，纽卡斯尔和布莱顿)现在正在不断地获得积分。因此，从拯救生命的第17位障碍目前延伸到12点。还剩下16回合比赛，这个差距是很严重的。

谢菲尔德在过去的5轮比赛中取得了3场胜利，然而其中2场是对阵你原本期待克里斯·怀尔德的球队取得胜利的球队——西布朗维奇和纽卡斯尔——而客场对阵曼联的那场比赛是一个幸运的侥幸。

东道主今晚有更有价值的阵容问题——最高评级的球员(根据whoscocored.com) Ampadu由于租借条款没有资格出场。其他一些常客则被设定为错过或怀疑。

我希望在新教练的带领下，切尔西能继续保持目前的热情，赢得另一场胜利。
