Fred is caught in possession and it leaves Manchester United in trouble.

United try and play their way out but Fred is surrounded by Newcastle shirts, and it quickly results in Callum Wilson pulling a shot wide of the far post.

Andddd we go again too at Old Trafford.

No changes to report.

Bukayo Saka is enjoying himself on the right. He's getting the better of Pascal Struijk. This time he nut-megs him and wins a throw-in.

LifaNati: Sterling is not any better than Pulisic who is 3 years younger. Is Potter scared of benching Sterling? Apart from Kepa, Chelsea have been atrocious.

Off we go again at Villa Park.

A couple of changes for Chelsea at half-time with Kalidou Koulibaly and Cesar Azpilicueta on and Kai Havertz and Marc Cucurella the men coming off.

Manny: Since buying Casemiro and Eriksen its shown how silly United were for not improving that double pivot area for two years. Fred is a passenger almost every game he plays.

Dean: Fred is such an awful footballer. It's like playing with 10 men.

Back up and running at St Mary's.

Luis Sinisterra swings it in from the left. Rodrigo connects with it first time on the volley but it's well blocked by Gabriel.

Newcastle United have now stopped the opposition from scoring a first-half goal in eight of their 10 games - more than any other Premier League side this season - so it's perhaps not too surprising that it's goalless after 45 minutes at Old Trafford.

The players are in the tunnel and we'll be under way again shortly.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League matches when leading at half-time (won six, drew three) dating back to 4 December, 2021 against West Ham United (lost 2-3).

Villa striker Danny Ings had five shots in the first half, one more shot than in his previous six Premier League appearances combined.

Jesus just dinks it, we know what he wants to do. The keeper goes down and it's a shock that Jesus's shot floats over the bar instead of going in.

This game was worth waiting for. It's end-to-end, it's frantic and we're bound to get goals at some point.

Straight up the other end!

Gabriel Martinelli sends it into the middle. It's left by Granit Xhaka, Martin Odegaard can't get his feet in place but backheels it to Gabriel Jesus and he chips it just over the bar from about two yards out!

Luis Sinisterra goes direct, running at the Arsenal defence before unleashing a decent strike. It's pushed behind for a corner.

From the set-piece, Aaron Ramsdale reacts to stop a stab from Pascal Struijk at close range. Wonderful save!

Martin Odegaard is given so much space on the edge of the box. He shoots and catches it well but it's blocked by his own player Gabriel Jesus. It's immediately sent back into the back post where Gabriel Martinelli is waiting but he can't quite head it in - though he was probably offside anyway.

Ben White curls it in deep towards the back post where Gabriel Martinelli is waiting. He swipes for the volley but the ball won't reach him as Rasmus Kristensen comes in to make a crucial interception.

Saka just flies past a defender and I think Pascal Struijk will have to be on his toes there. If you take it to a full back once and cruise past them, the winger thinks party on, give me the ball again!

I would imagine Eddie Howe will be quite pleased with that from Newcastle.

They had the best chance through Joelinton and until the final stages of the half carried most of the threat.

Manchester United might have to call on their youngsters from the bench.
