🎧🚫 Chelsea v Sheffield United | CotC with Gary Mantle & Ben Thompson (Patreon)

No Ads Audio

James is joined on Clash of the Correspondents by Chelsea fan Gary Mantle and Sheffield United fan Ben 'Tommo' Thompson to discuss the latest at their clubs and preview Saturday's meeting at Stamford Bridge in GW17.

For Chelsea fans, frustration with manager Mauricio Pochettino is beginning to grow following defeats at Manchester United and Everton but much of the anger may also be heading towards the owners, who could well spend big again (!) in the January transfer window.

For Sheffield United, Paul Heckingbottom has departed, replaced by former favourite Chris Wilder, but has everyone welcomed him back with open arms? And there's discussion on why this Wilder version of The Blades, so far, looks different to what had been expected.

Plus, this was meant to be when FPL managers steamed in to Chelsea assets. The prospects of Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling are discussed, but are they short term picks? And can any of the defensive players be trusted to do well?

And Saturday's opponents should not be overlooked either with 5 genuine enabling options worth considering, including Saturday's matchwinner James McAtee.
