Premier League: Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Sheffield United V Chelsea

Chelsea are preparing to face Sheffield United in an away Premier League game on Saturday, July 11. Ahead of the game, Sky Sports football expert Charlie Nicholas has made his prediction. "I said that Sheffield United had missed Jack O'Connell. Their balance was not right despite playing the same system. Jack Robinson came in and was not comfortable in that position. O'Connell has a sweet left foot and loves to bomb forward. Just to get the whole balance of the team back would have been great for them, and it was another brilliant defensive display," said Nicholas. "Chelsea could have got five against Crystal Palace but they could have conceded five too. There were mistakes all over the park, and Frank Lampard will be concerned by his defence. "Andreas Christensen makes mistakes, and so does Kurt Zouma. Is Lampard comfortable with Marcos Alonso? Reece James is good going forward but he has lots to learn defensively. I cannot separate them. There are mistakes and goals in Chelsea, but this will be a cracking game." Charlie Nicholas score prediction: 2-2 source - Sky Sports Join us on Telegram
