Hello and welcome to our live comments from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host Manchester United.

Good intervention by Evans after a deflection almost put Sturridge in, hooking the ball clear as he stretched. Mata then wins a free-kick on the right, off Evra.

Malouda is chopped down by Rafael, who is called over by Webbb - just a word though.

It breaks down though as Bosingwa runs into Rafael, who draws a foul from the Portuguese, who is playing at left-back.

Luiz pops up on the left wing as Chelsea play some more expansive football. This is better from the hosts.

Torres with a terrible flick on for Sturridge that lands behind him for Young. Ferdinand is again booed by what sounds like a minority of Chelsea fans as he clears. Sad.

It opens up for Torres on the edge of the D after Evans backs off following a link-up with Mata - but he mis-hits it well wide.

Meireles to put the free-kick in but poor, straight at Rafael who clears. Back to the Portuguese now, wide to Sturridge but another aimless cross and United clear. Torres slides in on Valencia, clearly getting the ball but Webb giving a free-kick for a shove just before he got the ball.

Torres turns Young and draws a foul from the winger. Free-kick to Chelsea around 30 yards out a touch to their left...

Luiz strides forward with the ball as Chelsea start to play it around nicely but a poor cross from Mata straight down De Gea's throat.

Good ruin by Valencia but Luiz robs Welbeck. He gives it away and Giggs crosses but Cahill clears. Young with an accidental lob but Cech plucks from the air.

Chelsea with some good play on the right but Mata fails to keep it in and United have a throw. Chelsea need a result here with Toon breathing down their necks.

Sorry about the Mikel-Essien thing earlier - Essien's current longer hairdo has a habit of confusing me! Mikel is NOT playing.

Ivanovic gets if off Young, who then fouls him.

Cahill slid in and just failed to get the ball, catching Welbeck with the follow-through in the box but starting the slide outside. You can see why it wasn't given - he was very close to the ball and Webb does not have the benefit of slo-mo - but that was a free-kick. Welbeck now offside.

Cahill clearly brings Welbeck down on the edge of the box but Webb - possibly mindful of his reputation among conspiracy theorists - waves play-on!

Torres on the run but Rafael hooks a foot around to take the ball, according to the ref. Chelsea felt it was a foul but it looked clean to me and Torres doesn't complain.

Bosingwa has a dig from the right but straight at De Gea, who gathers easily.

Young and United didn't even appeal and indeed a free-kick is given to Chelsea for Young handling as he fell on the ball.

Rafael with a good run on the right, Rooney could be in but his shot is blocked. Chelsea can't clear their lines and Young tries to wriggle in, going down in a tangle with Luiz but no penalty says Webb.

De Gea with a poor punch after a weak header towards goal from a team-mate, Evans I think. Already looking shaky.

Webb strides over to have a pre-corner word for jostling. Low and poor in the end but Malouda's long shot is deflected for another corner.
