As we approach the hour mark, Jesse Lingard is preparing to come on for United. Who will make way?
Drinkwater catches De Gea by surprise, fizzing a shot on goal that the goalkeeper can only bat away, with a defender across just in time to clear before Hazard can reach the rebound.
Sanchez, in all honesty, is having a bit of a stinker here. With a Chelsea defender bearing down on him, he opts to try and dribble his way out of trouble with Valencia offering an option down the right just yards away from him. Sanchez is easily dispossessed and Chelsea surge forward.
Pogba threads a neat ball down the inside left for Martial whose first touch is flawless, bringing the ball inside onto his right foot. He tries to square the ball across goal for Lukaku but Christensen makes an important block.
Half a chance for Morata! Willian skips past a few challenges and threads a ball through for the Spaniard, who has sneaked inside Smalling to break into the box. De Gea thinks about coming for it, but decides against it with Morata a little too far wide to hit the shot first time. By the time he does have a crack, United have players back to make the block.
Half-time. A goal for Romelu Lukaku has cancelled out Willian's opener at Old Trafford; we are finely poised for the second-half.
Willian clips it into Morata but he can't get the right touch on the ball to divert it past De Gea.
Matic concedes another foul, stumbling into the back of Hazard to give Chelsea the chance to swing one into the box from the resulting free kick.
Chelsea almost bite back immediately, with Hazard dancing his way into the box, looking to find room to shoot on his left. Smalling does well to hold him up with the Belgian eventually forced to lay the ball off to Alonso who fires over the bar.
United are level! It's probably undeserved, but it is a well-worked equaliser. On the edge of the D, Sanchez prods a pass through to Martial inside a very congested six yard area, who slides a pass across to Lukaku. The Belgian adjusts his feet brilliantly in a very tight spot, finding room to slot a cool finish past Courtois.
Matic gives the ball away in a horrible position, playing a blind pass straight into Morata who turns and pounces forward. Hazard offers a run through to his right but Lindelof gets across to make a timely challenge and spare his teammates' blushes.
There's a handful of players to blame for that goal. Pogba was far too weak challenging for the ball on the edge of his own box, McTominay failed to track Willian's run through the middle, Smalling was nowhere to be found and De Gea let the effort go straight through him - a rare error from the Spaniard.
Chelsea break the deadlock! Willian is on the score sheet again, starting and completing the move. Pogba is far too weak in an aerial challenge on the edge of his own box, with Moses winning the ball and knocking it down to Willian who surges forward. He finds Hazard on the left, who carries the ball upfield before threading an excellent pass through for the Brazilian who has continued his run into the box. He takes the shot on early, firing through David de Gea who is furious with himself for letting that through.
Pogba wins a key duel with Kante, selling him a step over and getting his body in front of his countryman before bursting forward. The Chelsea midfielder has a couple of niggles before eventually he is penalised for a foul and is shown a yellow card.
What a chance for Sanchez! It's brilliant from Martial, who takes on his man coming in from the left before sliding a precise pass into the Chile international, who has burst through unmarked in the box. Shooting first time looks like the best option, but he opts to take a touch first before trying to slot it past Courtois. He's unable to get the right purchase on his effort and it is an easy save for the Chelsea goalkeeper.
Young cuts onto his right foot and lifts a cross into Sanchez, who is muscled off the ball. It drops to Lukaku, who tries to spin and shoot but the big Belgian has two Chelsea defenders instantly on him to block his effort.
United surge forward, looking dangerous for the first time as Pogba slips a pass inside Azpilicueta for Martial to race onto. He cuts in from the left and looks to squeeze a pass into Lukaku but Christensen gets to it first and clears.
Willian tries to open up United with a free kick from out on the right but Matic hooks it clear to safety. United pick up possession, but don't really have a clue what to do with it.
That moment between the two managers is probably the most notable thing to happen so far. It's been pretty dreadful so far with United in particular looking incredibly passive.
