Chelsea are not in the mood for any unnecessary drama at the moment. The chaotic defending has disappeared for now, giving way to greater structure, leaving the stage clear for the wonderfully inventive Hakim Ziyech to provide the ammunition for Frank Lampard’s side to produce a ruthless recovery from a goal down against Sheffield United.
It might have been a different story last season. Sheffield United played their part during a terrific first half, taking an early lead through David McGoldrick, and did not look like a team languishing at the bottom of the table. Yet it was a breeze in the end, Chelsea stirring after a slow start, showing conviction to fight back before half-time and maturity to keep United at arm’s length before running in late goals from Thiago Silva and Timo Werner.
