Team news

Chelsea will not risk Thiago Silva with the defender almost ready to return after a thigh injury, but boss Thomas Tuchel will not rush him back into action.

The Blues hope to have Tammy Abraham back after ankle trouble, and Mason Mount and Jorginho are available having missed the midweek Champions League win over Atletico Madrid through suspension.

Chelsea provisional squad: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, Hudson-Odoi, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Mount, Havertz, Ziyech, Giroud, Arrizabalaga, James, Christensen, Emerson, Alonso, Kovacic, Gilmour, Pulisic, Werner, Abraham, Anjorin.

Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Sheffield United

Thomas Tuchel should make changes but still have few problems advancing to the semi-finals, with the Blades looking all at sea without Chris Wilder – as evidenced in their 5-0 loss at the King Power Stadium last time out.
