Events
Match Events
- 0' Chelsea FC have kicked off against Manchester United FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' Hakim Ziyech has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 35' Timo Werner has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 15 cards already picked up this season.
- 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 70' Manchester United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
