Chelsea have been dominant in possession. They are so relaxed, they're controlling the game but there is hope for Manchester United and it is only 1-0. They can get back into this game.

It would help if Romelu Lukaku had better movement on the pitch.

There is no one-touch slick passing from United and Chelsea are doing that all the time.

None taken, Steve.

Stephen: It’s a sorry state of affairs when the most exciting way to watch your team play is by live text.

Sibear: Watching United has become a chore..I give up

Mr Lamide: Manchester United, at the moment and not a good footballing side.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 64 Premier League games at Stamford Bridge in which they’ve been ahead at half-time (W54 D10), last losing against Arsenal in October 2011 (5-3), whilst only Tottenham (34) have won more Premier League games than Manchester United (31) when trailing at the break.

It could be worse, United fans.

Real Madrid have just set a record for their longest ever goal drought...

Follow that game here.

The half ends at walking pace. Jose Mourinho needs a big half-time if his side are to find a way back into the match.

That was a good counter-attack from Manchester United. We all know United have got the ability and the threat is there.

You feel like something can happen at any moment.

Chelsea have got a grip on this game and Manchester United look devoid of ideas on how to get some semblance of control.

Romelu Lukaku is out of sorts and Chelsea are just having it far too easy at the moment.

Jose Mourinho has to find a way of changing the momentum of this game. Big half-time talk coming up.

Alvaro Morata went down a little bit too easily there. he used the contact to win a free kick

I like the way Willian and Eden Hazard switched flanks and that's incredibly difficult to mark and keep track of.

Chelsea keep the ball for an ice age but then a loose touch lets in Ashley Young. Eden Hazard can't challenge him as he's on that early booking so away come the men in red. Romelu Lukaku does well to hold it up inside his own half and get Paul Pogba on the ball.

The United side do move up the pitch well, Pogba gets clear on the left wing but his cutback is met by a defender.

Andrew Sheridan: Lukakwho?

babatunde sakiru: Man United team is lacking objectives. Especially Matic losing possession irrationally.

Benjamin David: David de Gea...Overrated?

Chelsea's midfield just look a level above their opponents when it comes to keeping the ball in tight spaces and moving it quickly. They are yet to really translate that superiority into attempts on goal but it's impressive to watch, if not the most exciting period of play.

Peter: Rashford has been useless so far. Can't attack and can't track back either to help his teammates. Just walking like he is in the park with mates. POGBA EFFFECT?

John: Rashford seems to be on a mission, I'd love to see him play under a manager who won't restrict his abilities

Jorginho pings a lovely-looking ball from midfield to the run of Willian, it's just overdone but the vision was there.

Alvaro Morata sees the headlines and shoots from 25 yards - he slices it horribly wide.

Mad Moon Artist: Pogba: Attack, attack, att... hey look... Squirrel!!

Thomas Knights: United are playing with nine men. Pogba and Lukaku have done absolutely nothing constructive all half.

Scott Anthony: Mourinho 'would love' to sign Eden Hazard. I'd love to marry Rachel Riley but I'm confident neither are going to happen.

Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof really have to get onto Alvaro Morata much better.

He's a lone striker and shouldn't have so much space.

There's a real edge about Chelsea controlling this game. You do not see the same with Manchester United. They just can't retain the ball and play it out from the back as well as Chelsea

Antonio Rudiger overcooks a long crossfield pass and ignites the wrath of Maurizio Sarri, who is fuming at that waste.

Chelsea at 60% of possession so far though, the visitors yet to have a shot on target.

Momodu: Man Utd playing without cohesion again. I doubt if the players understand what they are supposed to do.

RegularJon: United always lose this fixture, but Chelsea never have to play that well to win it. Wish we’d at least make them fight hard for a win and play us off the park instead of us caving in and gifting goals
