Writing his column for BetVictor, Owen said: “It’s two wins and three clean sheets for Chelsea under new boss Thomas Tuchel.
“The Blues have certainly looked more solid since the German has arrived, with Thursday’s win at Tottenham testament to that. “They travel to the Steel City to take on a resurgent Sheffield United side. The Blades are putting in a late run to escape relegation, although they’ve probably left it too late.
“United have been impressive in recent weeks, however, Chelsea is growing in confidence and I think Tuchel may be the man to unlock the potential of fellow countryman Timo Werner.
