- 0' KICK OFF: Chelsea FC gets underway.
- 5' With 3 assists to his name this season, Jorginho is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sheffield United FC.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Timo Werner suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 17' Poor challenge from Chris Basham. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 22' It looks surprising Chelsea FC does not make any changes. Ben Chilwell has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 27' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Thomas Tuchel will be considering his options from the bench.
- 32' Scotland international Oliver McBurnie has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 37' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 42' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sheffield United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 43' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Mason Mount makes it 0-1.
- 48' Chelsea FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 53' Chelsea FC is showing some good football. However, Chelsea FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 54' Antonio Rudiger does the damage! The net is bulging and Chelsea FC surge ahead!
- 58' Jorginho adds to his 3 season tally! Chelsea FC lead 0-3 — and this changes everything.
- 62' Marcos Alonso gets the nod from Chelsea FC. He replaces Ben Chilwell and will look to change the dynamic.
- 67' Chelsea FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
- 68' Billy Sharp gets the nod from Sheffield United FC. He replaces Kean Bryan and will look to change the dynamic.
- 73' Oliver Norwood has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 75' The whistle greets Timo Werner as he departs to be replaced by N'Golo Kante.
- 80' Chelsea FC have won 654 goals from 409 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 85' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 86' Rhian Brewster has so much to prove this time. He replaces Oliver Norwood on 86 minute.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Sheffield United FC.
