Commentary
HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED
We're going to play two additional minutes at the end of the first half. Fernandes looks to feed the ball in behind the defence for Amad, but his attempted pass is tame, and Chelsea can eventually tidy up.
JUST WIDE FROM NETO! Chelsea go straight down the other end. Neto's in behind, though the angle's tight. He does the right thing and shoots across the goalkeeper, but it's just wide of the far post.
AMAD HAS TO SCORE! It's another howler from Fofana, who's beaten to a one-on-one with Amad again. The United winger's clear on goal with only Penders to beat, but lifts his shot too high. That's a big chance for the visitors.
IT'S HIT THE POST! Chelsea have a corner, which Palmer swings into the box. Fofana wins the initial header, and the ball ricochets off Caicedo, before trickling towards goal. It's almost in slow-motion, but thankfully for United, the ball clips the post and bounces out.
We're into the final five minutes of what's been an entertaining first half. All that's been missing so far is a goal, though there's still time for that to change.
