First few touches for Paul Pogba, out on the touchline. A spectator - like the rest of his team-mates - to this sensational Chelsea start. The home side settling things down here, working into their own rhythm.

Yes, it's fair to say this one is lively already. What a connection from Alvaro Morata - he just couldn't quite guide it under the frame. All the power came from Alonso's sizzling volleyed cross.

Antonio Rudiger pelts up the pitch with a surging run - he must have legged it 40 yards. Chelsea going on the offensive straight out of the traps here.

Eden Hazard with a delightful flick in midfield. It comes out to Marcos Alonso, who arcs in a searing cross that Alvaro Morata smashes into the crossbar!

Very, VERY bright from the away side.

Danny Drinkwater with a lovely spread out wide to Victor Moses. Perfect touch to control and the wing-back - transformed by Antonio Conte - wins an early corner.

Short it goes - a rehearsed one looking for Alavaro Morata's elliptical run into space in the box but Nemanja Matic doesn't slouch for long and he was quick to block and clear.

Here we go! We are under way at Old Trafford!

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt: "We were rigjht in the game until the end, so we're very disappointed, there's not a lot we can say.

"We trained the whole week for this game, and defensively we played very well as a team, but now we just have to look ahead to the next game."

Wayne Rooney is in the Old Trafford directors' box with his eldest son Kai.

Rooney is a veteran of many of these fixtures after spending 13 years at Manchester United before returning to Everton in the summer.

Wayne Rooney is in the stands this afternoon, wearing a turtle neck jumper that he pulls off much better than I would. Very few people suit a turtle neck.

A beautiful day it is at Old Trafford too. Glorious sunshine.

There it is - the handshake between Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho on the touchline. It was brief.

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs goalscorer Harry Kane: "We left that very late. I thought it weren't going to be our day, because we had a few chances, especially me, and Serge Aurier had one at the end too, but we kept going until the end and eventually got our rewards."

On the penalty incidents in the first half: "My one was offside, I think Ben Davies' was anywhere else on the pitch it was a foul, but the ref said it was accidental, so we move on."

On upcoming challenges: "We had a tough patch, with a few tough game recently, now we have to keep that momentum going, into the next games."

On reaching his 150th goal for Spurs: "I didn't even realise to be honest. I just want to keep scoring and help the team winning games"

Teammate Eric Dier added: "We like to leave it late here every year, we're just really happy to get the goal. I think we thourghly deserved it, we had so many chances."

On Harry Kane reaching 150 goals: "It's getting boring isn't it, he just keeps getting the records. But he's a class act, he just keeps getting the goals at vital moments."

Jose Mourinho with a friendly - I think - little shoulder pump for the fourth official and some of his former Chelsea players as he makes his way to the front of the tunnel.

Where is Antonio Conte? He's hanging around at the back.

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho to Sky Sports: "It is hard but we depend on ourselves.

"The approach is always the same, because football is quite simple, when you have ball try to score goals, when you don’t have the ball try to defend. When you don't have ball everyone has a defensive job to do.

"Last season we beat them here, lost at Stamford Bridge twice and also this season we lost at Stamford Bridge. Small details make a difference.

"Normally two big teams separated by a couple of points – normally you feel that balance on the pitch."

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte to Sky Sports: "The selections are normal tactical rotations.

"You have to find in every situation the balance, to understand your opponent.

"I expect an open game – both teams want to try to get three points."

Right then - it won't have escaped your attention we are very close to kick-off at Old Trafford.

Surely, surely it's got to be more entertaining than Palace v Spurs. Will the home side go for it? Will Pogba shine? Will Conte and Mourinho play nicely?

Spurs go into the top four because of one man - Harry Kane. So many times hes been the difference for them. Someone of that quality is so hard to keep down, even in a game where they didn't impress too much.

That victory stretches Spurs' unbeaten into 15 games in all competitions - it's the longest such run since one of 16 without defeat ended in March 1999.

A scrappy win too. One that makes you feel stronger, triumph despite adversity.

Charlie: Pogba in a midfield 3 should allow him to have more influence on the game. Did a lot of damage from that position in his Juve days.

Kunal: Paul Pogba starts - good news for United! Alvaro Morata starts - very good news for United!

It was always a case of if Tottenham could score. Crystal Palace have made a few chances, but it's been Tottenham's game to lose, Tottenham's game to draw, and they've found a moment of quality at last.

Harry Kane's late goal takes it for Spurs. Far from vintage, but a big win.

Paul: You just knew it would happen for Spurs. You just knew...

Emyr: all those saying THFC aren't Harry Kane United, I'm not so sure... we'll see how well they do when Real Madrid come knocking and take him away

Franklin: This crystal Palace team are horrible especially at the back
