Chelsea v Sheffield United
- Read Jake Osgathorpe's full preview
- Kick-off time: 13:30 GMT, Sunday
- TV channel: BBC One
Since Thomas Tuchel took over at Chelsea, they have played 10 league games and allowed an average of just 0.51 expected goals against (xGA) per game. Next best in that time has been Brighton (0.80).
In the same period, Sheffield United have been the worst defensive side.
What is expected goals (xG)?
- Expected goals (xG) is a metric that measures the quality of any given scoring opportunity
- Expected goals for (xGF) is the xG created by a team
- Expected goals against (xGA) is xG conceded by a team
Sheffield United are in complete disarray both on and off the pitch, with the decision to part ways with Chris Wilder baffling for many reasons, the main being that they don’t appear to have a succession plan.
We can back a CHELSEA WIN TO NIL at a shade of odds-on generally, and that looks extremely generous for a team who have kept so many clean sheets of late.
One player that catches the eye in the scorer market is MASON MOUNT TO SCORE ANYTIME.
He was suspended in midweek so didn’t play, increasing his chances of starting here. Recently Mount has been operating in behind the striker in one of two ‘number 10’ positions, getting scoring opportunities regularly.
Score prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Sheffield United (Sky Bet odds: 13/2)

Leicester v Manchester United
- Read Michael Beardmore's full preview
- Kick-off time: 17:00 GMT, Sunday
- TV channel: BBC One
I’m backing two midfielders to come good in the hope both will start, given the injury-enforced comparative lack of options at either manager’s disposal.
First up is United’s Scott McTominay, who is arguably having his best season for the club – and certainly his most impressive campaign in front of goal, having scored seven thus far.
The Scot has been of an attacking mindset in recent weeks, registering 10 shots in his past six Premier League starts, scoring twice in the process so the price of 38/5 (just over 15/2) on MCTOMINAY TO SCORE ANYTIME with Sporting Index is appealing.
For the Foxes, I’m plumping for Youri Tielemans who, like McTominay, has also found the net seven times this term.
Outside of the perennially-short-value Vardy, it’s a choice between last weekend’s hat-trick Kelechi Iheanacho and Tielemans – the hot-and-cold Iheanacho appeals less at 21/10 to score at any point and I much prefer the value of 11/2 on TIELEMANS TO SCORE ANYTIME with Paddy Power and Betfair.
As a final punt, it’s worth a small play on MANCHESTER UNITED TO WIN FROM BEHIND at 11/1 with Sky Bet and Bet Victor, as they have done on so many of their travels this season.
It’s a feat the Red Devils have managed in seven away Premier League games and they also did it at home to Liverpool in the FA Cup.
Score prediction: Leicester 1-2 Manchester United (Sky Bet odds: 17/2)
Odds correct at 2200 GMT (19/03/21)
