Follow all the action as Chelsea welcome Sheffield United to Stamford Bridge this afternoon. 

Frank Lampard’s side have shown serious improvements in recent weeks, having now kept a clean sheet in their last five successive matches, and can move into the top four with a victory. 

It’s been a different story for Sheffield United so far, though, with Chris Wilder’s side taking just one point from their opening seven games. Furthermore, the Blades have only scored three goals in total and desperately need a result to kickstart their season. Follow all the action below live:

Chelsea climb to third with that result, so Lampard will enjoy the international break. His side travel to Newcastle in a couple of weeks time, while Sheffield United, after an unenviable run of fixtures, host West Ham next.

Full-time

Jon Moss brings the game to a close. It’s another impressive victory for Chelsea, even more so because they fell behind early on. Ziyech was superb, and Lampard’s side are starting to look like a really well-balanced and consistent outfit. Sheffield United remain bottom, with just a single point from eight games.

GOAL! Chelsea 4-1 Sheffield United (Werner)

Chelsea are enjoying themselves now. The ball breaks through to Werner, who races onto it and plants his finish past the goalkeeper. Another goal added to his growing tally.

Brilliant again from Ziyech! He sprays an inch-perfect pass over the top for Werner to run onto. The German tries to lift his finish over the onrushing Ramsdale, but guides it just wide.
