Chelsea and Manchester United meet in a Premier League showdown at Stamford Bridge as both sides try to strike a blow in the race for the top four. With Manchester City moving 13 points clear at the top yesterday, it seems increasingly likely that Pep Guardiola’s side will clinch the title, and it seems United’s best bet may be to consolidate their position in the Champions League places. United are six points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea, so this game carries a six point swing either way.

HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED
An intriguing first-half comes to an end. Chelsea were the more assured side early on, passing with their usual tempo and giving the visitors very little to work with. But United have since grown more adventurous and towards the end of the half looked the more likely to open the scoring. The big talking point, of course, is the decision not to award a penalty when Hudson-Odoi appeared to handle in the box.

Fernandes meets a long pass from Lindelof with a cushioned header towards Rashford. Kante, rushing back to intercept, almost causes a problem for his own goalkeeper, diverting the ball narrowly wide of the near post. From the corner, Mendy just about manages to punch clear.

Giroud is back on and play restarts. United immediately go long in search of Rashford, who clatters into a microphone and then the advertising board as he tries to keep the ball in play. No damage is done.

Close! Rudiger plays a diagonal ball out to Hudson-Odoi, who whips a cross almost perfectly into the path of Giroud. He stretches in an effort to meet it with his head, but can’t connect. The ball flashes past the far post and Giroud clatters against the woodwork, hurting himself in the process.

Shaw does well to win a corner on the left, but his delivery from the set piece is poor. Kante hacks clear.
