  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' Manchester United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.

  • 30' Chelsea FC have won 654 goals from 409 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 31' The referee has no hesitation. Bruno Fernandes is booked for Manchester United FC — card on 31.
  • 36' It looks surprising Manchester United FC does not make any changes. Noni Madueke has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 41' Manchester United FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 48' The referee shows Manchester United FC player a card on 48.
  • 53' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.

  • 63' Chelsea FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 63.
  • 65' That is a card for Manchester United FC. Noussair Mazraoui will be fuming at that decision.
  • 69' Amad Diallo catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 69.

  • 71' Magnificent from Cucurella! That is 13 goals in 241 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 76' Chelsea FC currently sit 5 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 81' A tactical swap from Chelsea FC — Romeo Lavia on, Tyrique George off on 81 minutes.
  • 86' A quiet spell here at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 90' Manuel Ugarte picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
