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:

GOAL! West Ham 1-0 Fulham (Soucek)
West Ham have won it late on! The ball drops to Benrahma in the box, and he coolly slides a pass into the path of Soucek. He slots his finish past Areola, and Fulham are on the verge of defeat.

Fulham break dangerously and Mitrovic has space to run into on the left. He clips the ball up to Anguissa at the back post, but the midfielder’s touch lets him down.
89 min
Benrahma sneaks into the box from the left, beating Anguissa far too easily. He goes for goal from a tight angle, but Areola is in the way.

Cresswell lifts a corner to the back post, where Haller heads off target. Frustration grows for the hosts.

Coufal charges down the right and goes down easily under a challenge from Robinson. The referee waves away his appeals for a foul and the ball rolls out for a goal kick.
