Summary
Chelsea and Manchester United put on a great battle, with a very tactical first half in which the ‘red devils’ were generally better. Ten Hag’s team created many chances to take the lead in the match, but Kepa’s saves kept a Chelsea fighting back and growing with the introduction of Mateo Kovacic. Graham Potter saw how his team was losing the battle in midfield and introduced the Croatian, strengthening the midfield and changing the system to gain more control in wide areas. His change had the desired effect and the ‘blues’ ended up replacing David De Gea. However, everything is open for the second half.
Take a break at Stamford Bridge!
The initial relationship between Chelsea and United remains.

Min 37
Chelsea were sinking and strengthening the midfield to try to level the game against a United who were dominating.
min 36
Graham Potter doesn’t see it that clearly and will bring in Kovacic to give his team a boost. Cucurella is leaving the field, so Chelsea will defend with four.

Mount’s forays unpicking United’s defence. Watch out for change in Chelsea!

min 15
The game picked up pace and both teams tried to create danger in the opposing goal.
min 14
Now it was Varane who let Aubameyang down. The former Barça player is already licking his lips to finish off a side center who is extremely dangerous. It is corner.

Kepa’s hand to clear Antony’s shot at the far post. That ball slipped into the Chelsea goal.
