Chelsea v Manchester United: Premier League – Live! | Soccer

66 min: A free kick for Chelsea on the right. Willian invests it. And again, United's defense is beyond parody; they allow Luiz a free head of ten meters. Unlike Rudiger in the first period, Luiz can not take advantage and sends a bad effort to the left. What luck rejected!

65 min: This is set up right now. Chelsea has a little recovered from the equalizer; United, meanwhile, is looking at a totally different proposition. Remember that, despite all the setbacks of United this season, they would be only four points behind Chelsea tonight if they found a winner.

63 min: Pogba sinks deeply and sends one of his diagonal bottoms, from left to right, towards Lukaku, which takes off from the wing. Luiz, the last man, does very well to prevent him from being shot, limiting the damage to a corner. The fixed room leads to nothing.

62 min: Another corner for Chelsea, still left. The ball falls on Kovacic, who takes a fresh shot of air. United clear.

60 min: Hazard probes again on the left. He drops a shoulder to cut into the area and sees his shot low, slightly frayed, deflected off to a corner. What's wrong?

59 min: So much for Chelsea's confidence at the beginning of the second half. Their balloon was completely deflated. They can hardly make two passes. Now, it is the hosts who have to clear their heads.

57 min: Pogba takes possession of the ball 30 meters from the goal, turns and bends forcefully upwards to the right. Kepa has covered it, pretty much, and it's high and wide. But suddenly, visitors have their tail in the air! Meanwhile, Chelsea was upset by the fact that Alonso was lying on the ground as the ball lashed around the penalty area during the United equalizer construction. But the whistler did not have a bar.

United suddenly animates and repels Chelsea. Shaw's of center from the left. Mata shoots, but Kepa parries. The ball breaks well. Young pearls appears for the first time in the mixer. The ball falls on Jorginho and falls gently on Martial, who hits home after six meters!

53 min: Pogba, deep in his left half, tries to make a diagonal pass at Rashford's feet, in the right half of Chelsea's half. It's absurdly ambitious, but there is nothing wrong with that. However, there is just a little too much on the pass, and it's going to Kepa. But what a vision!

52 min: Luiz beckenbauers makes his way, then scores a double with Hazard at the edge of the box. Hazard's scary rear wheel sends Luiz into the box through the left inner channel. He shoots, but it is blocked. The resulting corner does not result in anything. Chelsea looks very confident.

50 min: The danger is back. It will continue well. Young's challenge was judged hard but fair, hence no penalty or second yellow. Hazard does not make a song and does not dance about it.

48 min: Hazard passes to Young on the left, then lights the jets. He shoots a powerful shot towards the goal from a narrow angle, but he is well placed at his next post by Gea. A young woman slides a few milliseconds later and catches Hazard, who falls painfully while holding her ankle.

47 min: A glorious and lively burst of Jorginho, right in the center, in front of Smalling, on a walk, with ease. He feeds Morata to the edge of the United box. Morata commits a control error, but is still able to turn and get shot. It's not really an effort, a dribbler down the left that De Gea can easily brew.

And we leave! No change. Mourinho takes place in the dugout, looking very relaxed. His team raises the ball.

Mata hoists a cross from the left. Luiz clears. Then, Martial inflicts himself unnecessarily behind Rudiger, releasing the pressure. Chelsea climbs to the other end, Willian is not able to get the best of Shaw. And that's it for the first half. Chelsea dominated, but Pogba had to fall asleep to reach his goal. They will hope to improve in the second half; United need at.

45 min: A rare attack from United finds free Pogba on the left. It reaches the signature, but its removal is for no one in particular and easily eliminated by Azpilicueta.

43 min: Chelsea hits the ball in pretty triangles for an age. United can not feel it at all.

41 min: Jorginho, on the left side, almost free Willian in the United area with a superb pass. Not quite, but the crowd enjoyed the effort and ambition.

40 min: Morata is trying to wrap a top right, but it's not right. He has been poor so far this afternoon; Giroud is going to have itching feet right away.

39 min: Chelsea continues to repel United. But visitors look a little safer right now, maintaining their shape. Willian can not open them right.

37 min: Matic is burglarized in the midfield. Chelsea flows forward. Alonso center from the left in the hope of finding Morata, but Lindelof managed very well to keep the attacker at bay and clear.

34 min: Mata sends an unusual kick into the blender; Morata goes clear without drama.

33 min: Chelsea hangs up the ball for a moment. But a happy ricochet finds Rashford on the right. He runs in acres of space and is cynically shot by Hazard on the right edge of the box. A yellow card for Hazard and a free kick in a very interesting position for United.

31 min: United's defense becomes AWOL again while Kante loops a passage in the left inner channel. Alonso is totally free in the area! But he can not take the ball and United escape. Had it been Hazard, United would have had all kinds of problems.

30 minutes: Rudiger is booked to have played an air challenge with Pogba a little too brutally. A moment of concern for United as Pogba holds his shoulder and grimaces, but everything will be fine.

28 min: Rashford and Luiz are in the box of Chelsea, the former speaker coming from the right. This is considered a charge just in the shoulder and a goal kick. Some United players claimed a penalty, but Rashford was not particularly upset.

27 min: United really do need to clear their heads. Young, who has already irritated the referee by arguing back, goes into the book for slamming into Hazard from behind.

26 min: They have just posted a repeat of the goal. Pogba was certainly in a position to recover Rudiger, but he fell asleep when the defender stepped aside from the left corner of the box to join the ball in the center. Pogba then presented his frustration in a very lively style.

24 min: Hazard straddled his left, slipped inside, and nearly made his way into the surface. United needs to clear his head, and quickly.

23 min: Willian looks a little lower right, but can not get anything and ends up getting the ball out of goal for a goal. United looks a little stunned; they had begun in a promising way, only for their defense to let them down again.

United's defense goes on vacation. Rudiger is entitled to a free head from a central position, at ten meters. Bottom left is fine! De Gea had no chance. Rudiger was the man from Pogba. A good header, but there was no resistance!

20 min: Hazard probes on the left. He reaches the benchmark, pauses and draws one for Kante, whose shot is blocked. Then another phase, while Kovacic slip a pass in the left channel inside for Hazard, whose fizzer through the penalty area prohibits Lindeof to leave the field for a corner. From which …

18 min: The corner is at the feet of De Gea in seconds.

17 min: But United returns to Chelsea, Mata passes the ball to Martial on the left. A corner.

16 min: Chelsea only partly clears the resulting free kick. Shaw, left, sports a beautiful cross on Lukaku's head. The big attacker sends a weak head to the left; he should have done a lot better.

15 minutes: Matic advances to the right and is overthrown by Kovacic. It's a free kick, nothing more, but Young and his manager, Mourinho, are furious at the non-decision. Mourinho jiggles and gesticulates on the sideline; The young people so harangue the referee that he deserves to speak.

13 min: Lukaku and Rashford cause a little trouble on the right, but Jorginho intercepts and sacked Hazard, who is manhandled from behind by Matic. The United player – who had the chance to escape censorship a few minutes ago – enters the book.

11 min: After taking the time to figure out what to do, Willian leans back and sends a lamentable free kick over the bar and a wide corner to the right. He pushed his manager to tabs: on the sideline, Sarri pensively sucks a cigarette butt.

9 min: Young crushes in danger. It's an awkward barge in the back. The crowd wants a yellow card, but it is a free kick and Hazard does not complain, winking at Young when he gets up again. From the free kick, Hazard dribbles on the front of the United surface, from left to right, forcing Matic to cynically lower him just to the left of the D. This will cause some worry to United, as Willian Luiz and Hazard stand on it.

7 min: Some promises burst on the left side of Mata. He fainted twice, but his restless life, stuck to his feet, worries Chelsea. Their old man sees a lot of things in the first exchanges.

5 min: Kante has a 25-meter pass, and the booty of his teammate in France, Pogba, is awarded directly to him. Then, a little space for Alonso on the right; he makes a leap for Morata, who climbs all over Smalling and concedes a free kick. The beginning of the match was fast and promising.

3 min: But Chelsea is also at the forefront. Willian bursts to the right and passes Shaw. He recovers the ball for Hazard, but the game bounces and the most popular player in the Premier League can not connect properly. He scratches a blow, and the danger is gone.

2 min: Young slides a ball to the right and almost releases Rashford. Luiz comes to slide the ball in contact. From the resulting blow, Mata wins a corner. United packs the box, but Azpilicueta takes the lead, without doing any stories. A good start by United, though.

And we left! Alvaro Morata launches the ball! Luiz has been throwing it for a long time … and comes out of the game. A good atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, as you would expect for such a big game.

A breath of Parklife, then the Liquidator, and tThe teams are outside! And it's quite an image in the autumn afternoon; you can not beat blue against red. "A human zip file? Yes, it's obsolete, but I'm keen for the moment. Ladies and gentlemen, give up Arvid Gerge, satirist of sport and sport.

"I like the way Jose congratulates Mata for his lack of ego and his team spirit, before referring to himself seven times in his last two sentences," writes Ian Copestake. Yes, it was an excellent little interview, was not it? Two minutes later, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Belgium and Chile, congratulating a player while sending a shot on the other, exacerbating the pressure on Chelsea and Juventus, and addressing a number from RP to local fans. So much to decipher and decompress from such a brief discussion; it's like a human zip file. A master class in communication, and fun to start. He will be missed when he is gone, you know.

Sarri speaks! "Morata has been very well trained for the past three days. Giroud played 90 minutes Tuesday, while Morata played Monday for just 20 minutes. Kovacic is very fresh; Ross played two games in four days, so I thought it was better to go with Kovacic. United's starting lineup is very offensive. But we want to play with our philosophy, control the game and avoid their counter-attacks. Hazard knows what to do; I want him to be absolutely free in the last 35 meters. "

Jose speaks; the world is listening. "We had a few training sessions, not at high intensity, but we did tactical work to try to prepare the team. We lost a lot of players on the international scene, including Fellaini, injured last Thursday, but we did not realize until last Wednesday. Alexis comes directly from Mexico to London, he did not even go to Manchester, we did not know his condition, but it's international football. Mata is Mata, one of ours, I like to call them, teammates. He thinks about the team, he's not selfish or egocentric, he just wants to help. This is what I like to call a true professional. It's a big game. In three days, we face the best team in the country and, at Juventus, the best team in Europe. It gives me a feeling of happiness to see the distance that separates them from us. These are fantastic matches, the feeling of playing against the best teams is a great feeling. I can not promise, but I hope that if my team scores a goal, I will try to behave. If my team wins, I will try to be respectful, because that's how it was with me. "

Both teams make two changes to the starting lineup selected before the international break. Chelsea recalls Mateo Kovacic and Alvaro Morata, leaving Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud 3-0 victors at Southampton on the bench.

Manchester United reinstated Victor Lindelof and Juan Mata, while Eric Bailly is tied. Scott McTominay, who has played around in this 3-2 whirlwind affair with Newcastle, does not appear at all.

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Morata, Risk.
Subs: Fabregas, Barkley, Pedro, Caballero, Giroud, Zappacosta, Cahill.

Manchester United: of Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Pogba, Matic, Rashford, Mata, Martial, Lukaku.

Arbitrator: Mike Dean (Wirral).

The endless international truce is over and the Premier League is back in full force. This is one of the biggest rivalries of English football! It's Chelsea against Manchester United! It's on!

In other words, it is not really necessary to enlarge this one. But hey, let's do it anyway.

This The comeback against Newcastle United will be like there is a life for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United. It was both one of the most laughable and spectacular performances in the history of this historic club, less a two-half match than a seven-ninth and two-ninth with a stop. Will it be Jose's Mark Robins moment as the team and club rediscover their mojo? Or was it nothing more than an absurd flash in the pan, a story of sound and fury meaning nothing?

We will know it soon. In the next three weeks, United will face Everton, Bournemouth's high-level player, Manchester City champions and Cristiano Ronaldo twice. It's a race that defines the season; potentially a decisive career for Mourinho. But first of all Chelsea's little business.

He is one of the best players in the league, Chelsea. They are unbeaten this season. They look revitalized under Maurizio Sarri. They have won their last three home games against United, scoring six goals without conceding any. And they have not been beaten at Stamford Bridge by today's visitors since 2012, even though they numbered only nine men. Add the FA Cup final of last season, and that seems like a big challenge for United.

But then, United has always got in the habit of fleeing when everything seems lost. it's in their DNA. A victory against luck at noon would create a much needed momentum; they would then be only four points behind Chelsea and the situation would be much better. Alternatively, if Eden Hazard continues in her recent career and inspires a win at Chelsea, United's plans on the title will take a serious blow and the pressure on their former coach will increase another notch. It's so deliciously balanced. Yes, the Premier League is back, and with a bang. This is one of the biggest rivalries of English football! It's Chelsea against Manchester United! It's on!

Start: 12:30 Paris time.
