LIVE – Chelsea v Manchester United: Commentary, updates, goals and stats

Manchester United will look to bounce back from Monday’s surprise defeat at home to Leeds and keep Chelsea at arm’s length in the fight to finish in the Champions League qualifying spots.

The setback at Old Trafford was just their second under Michael Carrick but it left them seven points ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea and knowing another defeat tonight would give the hosts a significant boost in their bid to finish in the top five.

Chelsea were outplayed by Manchester City last weekend and know they need to perform better against the red half of Manchester.

The pressure continues to build on Liam Rosenior, even though he received the backing of one of the club’s senior figures today.
