Manchester United v Chelsea - As it happened

Manchester United v Chelsea - As it happened

The end

Conte and Mourinho shake hands after the Portuguese manager completely outsmarted the Italian. Herrera is probably the man of the match scoring one and setting up Rashford for the opener. The striker and Bailly also put on solid displays to see off the leaders comfortably.

A great match from the striker and he receives a great cheer from the crowd.

Young over the bar!

The winger has not been fortunate in front of goal today and he scuffs another strike.

Chelsea dominate now

United are sitting deep and waiting out the clock. The Blues are seeing more of the ball, but counterattacks through hard-working Rashford is a looming threat.

Yellow card Rojo

Yellow card Herrera

The tackle looked quite tame, but the Spaniard's man-marking of Hazard has absolutely nullified the Belgian.

Begovic save!

Rashford breaks and does well to shake off Luiz and Cahill. The striker attempts to finish in the near post but the keeper gathers well.

Great defending from the home side

Bailly and Herrera, who have been the two best today, both leap in front of Costa to deny his finish. Chelsea are looking a bit improved now.

Willian on for Matic

Pedro over the bar!

The winger cut in and shot with his left foot, but it is over De Gea after a deflection from a defender.

Rashford wide!

It is Carrick who finds Rashford unmarked with Chelsea defence scrambling, but the striker's effort hits the side-netting.

Chance Chelsea!

Fabregas is replaced by Moses

United close!

Lingard almost gets a third, but his shot from the edge of the area is off target. Not looking good for Chelsea...

United double their lead!

Herrera, who got the assist earlier, now scores United's second. Kante unusually gives the ball away in a dangerous position, for Young to run into the box. The winger lost the ball to Zouma but it falls to the Spanish midfielder, who blasted the ball in after a deflection off the Chelsea defender.

GOAL!

Yellow card Cahill

It was a strong challenge from the centre-back on Fellaini.

The hosts get the ball rolling!

We're back!

The players come back out. United have played the best forty-five minutes of the season, but interestingly Ibrahimovic is not involved. Chelsea have much to improve if they want to get anything out of the game.

Half time

It has been all United in the first half. Mourinho's side have moved the ball around well, and they took the lead through Rashford in the seventh minute. 59% of possession was for the hosts, as Chelsea struggled to settle into the match. We have seen some strong challenges with things heating up, specially Diego Costa who has already been booked. Still all open for the second half as Man Utd lead by one.

Young fires over!

Another good move down the right from the hosts and a low cross from Rashford eventually falls to Young in space, but the winger fires high.

2 added minutes

Costa wide!

Chelsea's first shot of the game is a long effort from Diego Costa, which does not trouble De Gea.

Chance United!

Man United still bossing the game and a good move down the right sees Rashford's cross come off Cahill's head and out for a corner close to the bar.

Costa again

Man Utd players surround the referee after the striker crashes into Rojo and lets himself fall on the defender with his elbow out. The Chelsea man playing with fire...

Yellow card Costa

It has not been the striker's game, picking a fight with players rather than focusing on the match. This time he gets booked for a late challenge on Pogba.

Ashley Young wide!

Rashford and Pogba did well to keep possession down the right, and the Frenchman saw Young at the edge of the box, but the United player struggled to get the ball out from under his feet as he struck wide.

The sun coming out at Old Trafford

Chelsea still not in this game, with Mourinho's men dominating in every aspect.

Chance United!

A good cross from Rashford from the right, but Begovic gets a strongs hand to clear with Lingard waiting to pounce.

Dangerous free kick United

Rashford is going to curl it in from the right.

The hosts reclaim possession

After a surge from Chelsea, United are back on the ball. Bailly and Costa already getting physical in what promises to be the duel of the afternoon. Ashley Young's low cross from the left finds nobody in the box.

Tempers flaring now!

Bailly is down after crashing with Costa who seemed to push him from behind. The striker then had a little scuffle with Rojo.

Man Utd on the ball again

The hosts with a good start as they overwhelm Chelsea.

Claims for handball leading up to the goal

Herrera provided the brilliant pass, but there were claims for handball as the Spaniard stole the ball from Matic.

United lead!

Rashford opens up the scoring at Old Trafford after a great pass from Ander Herrera to see him behind the defence. The striker finishes well past Begovic.

GOAL!

First chance United!

The mistake from Luiz as he loses the ball to Lingard and Rashford is through on goal. His shot is scuffed wide.

United on the ball after a surging start

It seems Marcos Alonso is unwell, so no injury blow for the Blues. The ball went from side to side in the initial minutes with the hosts eventually getting hold of it, passing around at the back.

We're underway!

Great atmosphere at the Theatre of Dreams. The crowd aware of the magnitude of this Super Sunday clash.

Chelsea kick off!

The hosts attack from left to right in the first half.

Everything ready at Old Trafford!

Another last-minute injury for Chelsea!

Alonso is injured in the warm-up, and Zouma takes his place.

Ibrahimovic on the bench...

Chelsea travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United, who are still sore over the heavy defeat earlier in the season. The hosts will look to make the league leaders drop points, while also trying to stay close to the top four. Defeat for the Blues would allow Spurs to close the gap to four points after their thrashing of Bournemouth yesterday. Courtois misses the game due to injury, while Ibrahimovic is rested on the bench by Mourinho.
