One the players who was involved in Chelsea 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Sheffield United the last time the two teams met at Bramall Lane in the league is Reece James who was not taking anything for granted when Chelsea faced Sheffield United on a cold Sunday evening in South Yorkshire. This time however, Chelsea returned back to London with the desired result and three points to move up to fifth in the premier league table. In the wake of Sunday's victory James spoke about the reaction from the team towards conceding an equaliser in the second half, about the influence of Timo Werner as well as Jorginho's penalty, which proved to be the second winning penalty in the space of four days.  His penalty run-up was that of his previous technique as supposed to the penalty taken against Tottenham, which having missed three penalties earlier this season was taken in a more different and conventional style.  On Jorginho's penalty James said  'He works really hard and practices...

Timo Werner explains how tweak in his position under head coach Thomas Tuchel contributed towards his match-winning performance against Sheffield United.  In recent matches there has been a noticeable improvement in Werner's fortunes, none more highlighted so than last nights trip to South Yorkshire to face Sheffield United at Brammal Lane, where he was the creator in both of Chelsea's goals as the Blues won 2-1. The freedom that Werner has been provided with to play on the shoulders of defenders and then drop deep between the lines was clearly evident yesterday as he looked a constant threat throughout Chelsea's victory with his running both on and off the ball. Werner revealed after the game that a key change in his role since Tuchel has taken over as Chelsea head coach, playing in a more central position and closer to his fellow strikers, is helping him to exploit and find space in order to attack opposition defences. Werner said 'Every manager is different in how th...

Thomas Tuchel's first taste of a premier league game outside of London took place in freezing conditions in South Yorkshire against tough opposition, so there was little wonder he was happy with the way in which his team stood up to the challenge at Bramall Lane.  They may be at the bottom of the table but Sheffield United have proven to be problematic opponents for just about every side in the premier league this season, and tonight was no different. The blades should have gone ahead inside 30 seconds and then had a penalty overturned by VAR before Chelsea took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Mason Mount. Sheffield United got back on level terms though through an Antonio Rudiger own goal on for Timo Werner, who created the opening for Mason Mount, to win Chelsea a penalty like he had done at Tottenham. Just like at Tottenham, Jorginho netted what would prove to be the winner, leaving Tuchel to reflect on a third consecutive league victory. On today's game Tuchel sa...

Timo Werner and Mason Mount Celebrate Chelsea's opening goal against Sheffield United For the second time in the space of four days a penalty from Jorginho proved to be the difference as Chelsea moved up to fifth in the table with a win over Sheffield United at Brammal Lane. Just like the game on Thursday against Tottenham again it was Timo Werner who was fouled, but this time Jorginho opted to go for hid more traditional penalty technique to send goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale the wrong way. Jorginho is now Chelsea's second top goalscorer in the league with five goals to his name. The winger which came in the 58th minute after Antonio Rudiger had put through his own net awkwardly for what was an unfortunate first goal conceded under Thomas Tuchel. Rudiger more than made up for his mistake with a series of vital blocks and clearances as Chelsea doggedly defended their narrow lead later on in the game. Chelsea enjoyed a couple of early let offs in the game, not least when Sheffield U...

Chelsea move from North London to South Yorkshire as a string of away games continues for the Blues with a visit to Brammal Lane to face Sheffield United on Sunday.  Beginning on Sunday, Chelsea will embark on a five day tour of South Yorkshire, as they take on two clubs separated by 12 miles of green belt, covered in snow. Before Chelsea face Barnsley in the FA Cup there is the small matter of facing Sheffield United in the premier league, with both sides having regained some form as of late.  Bramall Lane is one of those rare away fixtures where the biggest ever win for Chelsea was their maiden bow with a 3-0 victory back in January 1908 with George Hilsden getting on the scoresheet twice. Chelsea's most recent success came back in 2006 with goals from Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard. Sheffield United have recently discovered their cutting edge, winning five of their past seven games in all competitions. They hold an advantage as they have had an extra two days preparation...
