McTominay is alright to hold on at Old Trafford.

One transfer and United are 4 on three once more. Caicedo fouls Hojlund about 35 yards out. Fernandes’s free kick hits the wall.

GOALLLLLLL!

A fast replace on proceedings at Villa Park.

No objectives but however Villa have had 11 pictures to City’s two. We know they wrestle with out Rodri and we’re seeing that once more at the moment.

Villa need to keep their spectacular house file.

Great likelihood for Mudryk this time! Space on the left for him and he has to selected between passing to Sterling and taking pictures.

It’s good defending from Maguire and Mudryk shoots from an ungainly angle but it surely’s large.

Scott McTominay is down and harm.

I am unable to recover from this defending from Chelsea. Tons of house for Dalot and Garnacho now with the ball throughout unable to search out Hojlund.

There’s a communication challenge between one of many assistant referees.

We’re again and Sanchez provides a straightforward go away earlier than slicing one out for a throw. His kicking is a matter.

MY WORD! McTominay has to attain!

A header from McTominay who has the liberty of Old Trafford two yards out however he heads straight at Sanchez, and the observe up is straight at him too.

At the opposite finish Sterling is in and feeds Jackson however Onana denies the ahead!

Mad, mad recreation.

Raheem Sterling hits the deck within the field and the VAR will take a look but it surely’s both a dive or a penalty.

Check full. A dive.

It comes from Palmer shedding the ball on the proper however United are completely battering their opponents and Pochettino has left it too late to vary something.

Cross is available in from the left, the primary effort is blocked, and the ball comes again out to McTominay, who lastly places United forward.

Luke Shaw is booked for kicking the ball away however United are opening Cheslea up at will right here. Sanchez has to save lots of once more from Antony.

Palmer drives Cheslea ahead now and feeds Fernandez, who shoots along with his left and Onana saves the swerving effort.

The factor about this recreation is that neither facet is ready of their build-up.

A wonderful likelihood for United once more with the cross coming in and Silva having to dam an effort simply yards out. The nook is available in and is nearly flicked away.

Chelsea cannot get out… GOALLLLL!

An excellent likelihood for Chelsea now up the opposite finish with Jackson breaking.

He has Palmer to his proper, Mudryk his left, and performs within the latter. Mudryk breaks by and hits the publish.

Then Sanchez saves once more up the opposite finish, and Mudryk breaks once more, however his go is poor.

Any defenders about?

It wasn’t an important penalty by Fernandes. His ordinary, sluggish run up and he waits for Sanchez to maneuver however the Spaniard doesn’t.

It’s tepid, heading for the underside proper, and the Cheslea ‘keeper saved earlier than the observe up is fired over.

An enormous let off for Chelsea.

SANCHEZ GETS A HAND TO IT!

Chelsea are far and wide right here. Antony hits the deck after which McTominay shoots but it surely’s blocked for one more nook.

I feel we’d get a United penalty right here… we’re. Fernandez has stood on Antony.

Nervy save from Sanchez who saves low from Hojlund on a snapshot on the left.

Shaw’s ensuing nook is met by Lindelof but it surely’s straightforward for Sanchez to collect.

Dalot will get ahead now and his cross is fumbled by Cucurella, who slices the ball out for a nook. Cross in from Fernandes is headed away.

Chelsea’s defence is Colwill LB, Cucurella RB, Silva and Disasi CB.

Fernandes blazes the primary shot of the sport over the bar.

We are underway in each Manchester and Birmingham.

The final time Pochettino and Ten Hag confronted off, that Champions League semi in Amsterdam.

The groups are on their methods out at Old Trafford.

Strap in for what ought to be one other traditional!

Not lengthy to go then till the group will probably be on their manner out.

Villa vs City may also be getting underway in 5 minutes.

There had been a little bit of confusion over who would captain Chelsea tonight with skipper Reece James and vice captain Conor Gallagher each not enjoying, however it should certainly be Levi Colwill.

Just the academy graduate’s seventeenth recreation for the Blues.

I discussed Patrice Evra’s phrases on United earlier on and he is been going once more, definitely not mincing what he is been saying.

He slammed the gamers – notably Marcus Rashford – and claimed that Old Trafford has misplaced its concern issue.

Read extra beneath.

And within the blue nook…

So the principle takeaway from Old Trafford is that Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have been dropped by Erik ten Hag.

We all noticed Rashford’s efficiency towards Newcastle and Martial and Ten Hag had a spat. All is clearly not effectively.

They is not going to play from the beginning tonight as a punishment, in the event you like.

Asked in the event that they had been overlooked as a consequence of an absence of dedication, Ten Hag stated the next…

No. We performed higher as a group, we won’t blame people for it. It is a part of rotation. I feel we’ve an excellent energised entrance line and we do it as a group and a dressing room.

He isn’t beginning becuase I feel we have to care for him and construct his momentum. After Newcastle he was banned, now he must construct his confidence with us and litle by little he will probably be on the pitch and with the group, however for now he will probably be on the bench.

Here are the groups from Villa Park tonight…

The recreation is Unai Emery’s fiftieth recreation in cost.

Chelsea swap just a few from their win over Brighton, however Reece James stays on the bench. Cole Palmer is in for Gallagher.

Sanchez, Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Sterling, Palmer, Mudryk, Jackson.

Subs: Petrovic, Gilchrist, Badiashile, James, Maatsen, Castledine, Matos, Washington, Broja.

So no Rashford, that is the headline.

Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, McTominay, Amrabat, Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund.

Subs: Bayindir, Evans, Reguilon, Wan-Bissaka, Mainoo, Pellistri, Ven de Beek, Rashford, Martial.

Patrice Evra is without doubt one of the pundits on Prime Video tonight.

Having made lots of of appearances for Manchester United, the previous full-back is nearly as good of a fan because it will get. And he is not proud of the way it’s going proper now.

Tonight is an enormous recreation however it’s about perspective. It needs to be totally different. The recreation towards Newcastle was a lazy perspective. All United followers are very harm proper now.

Chelsea gamers have arrived too forward of the match.

It’s a tough one to name tonight. Both groups are a bit up and down, with the Blues beating Tottenham, then drawin with City, then getting hammered by Newcastle earlier than getting the higher of Brighton.

United come into this one on the again of a dire end result and efficiency towards Newcastle final trip.

Right, specializing in tonight then.

United gamers have arrived at Old Trafford forward of the sport, with round 80 minutes to go till kick off.

A win tonight may in principle see the Red Devils go fifth within the Premier League desk, whereas Chelsea are aiming to maneuver as much as eighth.

Anyway, this is our piece on how United’s dressing room spiralled downhill when Sir Alex Ferguson left.

From Louis Van Gaal being hated by his gamers, to Jose Mourinho clashing with Paul Pogba and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turning on just about everybody, it is beginning to appear to be Ten Hag will endure the identical destiny.
