 In a one-sided opening 20 minutes, the Blues dominated possession, and despite Sheffield United coming close to scoring, Chelseam summer signing Cole Palmer broke the deadlock, finishing off a Raheem Sterling pass. 

Nicolas Jackson added a second goal. The win marks Chelsea's first back-to-back home PL victories under Pochettino, while Sheffield United seeks a recovery against Aston Villa after their fourth defeat in five matches.
