FIRST HALF UPDATES:

0' KICK OFF

0' Chelsea kick off in blue, United in red!

5' A cagey start to the match with both teams not looking to push too hard. Luiz made an early mistake with that Rashford almost pounced on but he dragged his shot wide.

7' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL RASHFORD SCORES! Herrera intercepts in our half and turns before surging forward into the Chelsea half and feeding Rashford through with a wonderful through ball! Rashford beats Luiz for pace before calmly slotting past Begovic! United lead early!

12' Bailly goes down injured after Costa pushes him into the post. It's unnecessary and Costa is clearly trying to get under our skins. Lucky to escape without a booking..

14' Costa dives on the wing and earns his team a free kick but United manage to deal with it and clear.

15' Rashford is inches away from Ashley Young's cross from the left and he would've had an easy tap in had he made contact. United looking dangerous.

20' Chelsea have had enough possession and have been coming forward but they haven't been looking too threatening whereas United are on the front foot. We haven't tested Begovic since the goal though. Rashford to take a free kick now though..

21' Nothing comes from the free kick but Chelsea counter with pace and numbers. United manage to get back and make the tackle.

25' Chelsea surge forward and are trying to get things going but United hold strong. They're growing frustrated as refereeing decisions go against their way as well.

30' A lot of tension and scuffles between both teams with a few finicky fouls.

33' CHELSEA YELLOW CARD Diego Costa finally gets booked for being a pest.

36' Costa and Rojo go down together and Costa's been at both of our centre backs have now been involved with Diego. Let's hope he gets sent off. No major chances either way in quite a few minutes.

40' Young goes down after a little clash with Moses where he got a smack on the face accidentally. He'll be fine. Chelsea can't capitalise in the final third as Azpi slips on the wing and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

45' TWO MINUTES ADDED

45+2' HALF TIME

SECOND HALF UPDATES:

45' KICK OFF

45' United get the game restarted!

47' CHELSEA YELLOW CARD Cahill gets booked for a high boot into the thigh of Fellaini. United have a free kick on the wing.

48' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL HERRERA DOUBLES OUR LEAD! The free kick goes all the way across the box to the left wing where Young picks it up eventually and drives in parallel to the by-line before laying it off to Herrera on the edge of the box who smashes the ball low towards goal and a deflection leaves Begovic flat-footed and can't stop the ball from nestling into the net!

54' CHELSEA SUBSTITUTION Fabregas ON || Moses OFF

55' United looking dangerous when we go forward and Old Trafford is incredibly loud as the fans approve of our lead. Chelsea haven't really been able to get much going yet.

60' Chelsea are looking to get more aggressive on the ball and are pressing United higher up the pitch.

60' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Carrick ON || Lingard OFF

65' Chelsea turning up the heat and trying to put pressure on the United defence while United look to use Rashford's pace on the counter.

65' CHELSEA SUBSTITUTION Willian ON || Matic OFF

68' RASHFORD TESTS BEGOVIC! He runs through on the counter, cuts back and splits the Chelsea defence, before unleashing a low shot at Begovic's near post but it's saved and gathered well.

72' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Herrera is booked for a foul and none of his appeals will get him out of that trouble.
