It is 15 years since Nottingham Forest graced the top-flight, but Stuart Pearce's side can take a big step towards ending their Premier League exile by going top of the Championship table.

Unbeaten Forest start third against Ipswich yet will go two points clear at the summit if they can end a run of three successive goalless draws and win at the City Ground.

It won't be easy. Mick McCarthy's Tractor Boys, eighth in the table, are unbeaten in their last six league outings and a win would send them level on points with Norwich and Watford at the top of the table.

"There is a 15-minute delay to kick-off here at Stamford Bridge, which now begins at 14:20. The only reason being given is because there has been an 'incident'. We don't know what that incident is, but what we do know is that there is a 15-minute delay to kick-off."

We're up and running at a sun-drenched White Hart Lane.

Manchester United are up to fourth in the Premier League table. We'll bring you all the post-match reaction as we get it.

A warm embrace between Mauricio Pochettino and Ronald Koeman, and now it's down to business.

"You see the nature of the ways the goals were created for Danny Welbeck by the way Arsenal play. And this is the first time he has played in a lone striker role. He is only going to improve. He will be a real top player."

"It's an incredible statistic really, that Arsene Wenger hasn't beaten Jose Mourinho in the Premier League. It's a frightening thought. Wenger said himself that the big defeat at Stamford Bridge last season was his lowest point. It's going to be a huge game. Danny Welbeck is on fire and scoring goals."

Discussing Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino facing his former club Southampton this afternoon. Saints sold several big-name players this summer including Luke Shaw, Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown: "Pochettino was magnificent at Southampton with lots of young players that have been sold. Koeman has done a truly amnazing job, they seem to go from strength to strength. Lots of very good decision were made at a high level.

Former Man City and QPR winger Trevor Sinclair: "The recruitment there must be superb. The Academy does so well . I would love to go down and see what is going on."

Sunday Mirror journalist Andy Dunn: "Hindsight is a great thing. What a great summer they had in the transfer market. For each individual case you can see sense in the sale. But at the time the thing was they were selling them all at once."

Gavin Scott:, external To think some people still have the audacity to question David De Gea. Best keeper in the Premier League.

Chris Goodall:, external Great saves from De Gea, but Manchester United still far from convincing.

Danny Partington:, external And suddenly top four doesn't look so beyond Man Utd. Mainly because they're now in the top four...

The game at Stamford Bridge has been delayed by 15 minutes due to an incident.

The whistle goes. Manchester United take all three points - thanks largely to David De Gea's super goalkeeping performance.

BBC Radio Merseyside summariser and former Everton winger Ronny Goodlass at Old Trafford: "Gareth Barry hit one on the half-volley, United get a man in the way from six yards out but the save from David De Gea - everyone has jumped up because Bryan Oviedo's strike was going in the top corner. And that after another fabulous save when you can say Leon Osman should have scored."

John Stones lands awkwardly - one to make us all wince - and he is stretchered off. Everton have used all of their subs now.

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Stamford Bridge

"Former Arsenal midfield man Cesc Fabregas is out warming up with Chelsea at a sunlit Stamford Bridge. The announcement of his name was met with some jeering from the travelling Arsenal fans but it would be stretching the point to suggest it was venomous."

David De Gea has been a revelation today - making a tremendous save to tip over Bryan Oviedo's stinging shot from the edge of the box, moments after Tyler Blackett had blocked Gareth Barry's initial shot.

It really is a brilliant, brilliant save.

Everton win a free-kick just outside the box out on the left when James Wilson trips Leighton Baines. Wilson is booked.

Rishabh Kapoor:, external There is again a palpable tension at Old Trafford...

Four minutes of injury time are announced and Everton pour forward - a move which ends with Leon Osman lacing a powerful shot from 18 yards which brings a superb one-handed stop out of David De Gea.

A little slip from John Stones allows Robin van Persie to bear down on goal, but the young defender recovers well and gets back to deny the flying Dutchman.

Tim Howard does not like the physicality of Van Persie's interjection and makes his feelings very clear indeed.
