Post  Admin Fri Dec 18, 2009 12:59 pm

FT The referee blows his whistle for full-time. Chelsea have won 1-0 thanks to Terry's header. Man United will be unhappy with the decision to award a free-kick that led to the winner from the Blues.

90 Obertan's corner from the left is flicked wide of Cech's near post by Carrick. We have a minute left.

90 Chelsea make a change before the corner with Alex taking the place of Anelka.

90 O'Shea's cross from the right is headed behind for a corner by Terry as Obertan looks to find space at the far post.

90 Obertan's corner from the right is headed over the top of the by Evans from 12 yards. Decent chance for the Man United defender.

90 The resulting corner is cleared by Chelsea but Carrick's lofted ball back into the box is knocked behind for another flag-kick.

90 Obertan produces some great play on the left flank to win a corner as his cross goes behind off the legs of Ivanovic.

90 There will be five minutes of additional time.

89 Valencia is booked by the referee for a silly challenge on Lampard after the Chelsea midfielder had cleared the ball.

88 Obertan cuts in from the left flank and sees his driven effort blocked by Carvalho. Man United are on the front foot.

87 Rooney's free-kick is knocked behind for a corner. The Man United striker takes the resulting flag-kick and his poor effort is cleared by Terry at the near post.

86 Rooney wins a free-kick in a decent position as he is knocked to the ground by Ivanovic. Man United are starting to cause plenty of problems for Chelsea.

85 Man United make a double change as Gabriel Obertan and Michael Owen replace Anderson and Giggs.

84 Giggs' corner from the left bounces through to Valencia at the far post and the winger scuffs an effort wide of goal. Decent chance for Man United.

83 Chelsea make their second change of the match as Salomon Kalou replaces Drogba.

82 Both Carvalho and Evans are booked for that incident. Carvalho for keeping the ball and Evans for the trip.

81 Carvalho concedes a free-kick for a foul on Rooney and then falls to the ground as Evans looks to get the ball. Poor sportsmanship from the Chelsea defender as he made far too much of the trip from the Man United player.

80 Anelka's low cross from the right is gathered with ease by van der Sar at his near post as Chelsea push for a second goal.

79 Chelsea are looking comfortable after taking the lead. They are keeping the ball with ease in the Man United half.

78 Man United are starting to show their frustration after falling behind as Anderson concedes a free-kick for a poor challenge on Ballack.

77 Rooney is booked by the referee for showing his anger after the goal.

76 GOAL TERRY! Lampard's free-kick from the left is turned home by a flicked header from Terry. The ball beats van der Sar at his far post to give Chelsea the lead. It was a controversial decision to award the free-kick as Fletcher appeared to win the ball when he challenged Ashley Cole.

75 Drogba is back on the field as the Chelsea coaching staff show their anger to the fourth official over the striker's booking.

74 Drogba is booked by the referee as he leaves the field because he pushed Evans just before the Man United defender's challenge.

73 We have a break in play as Drogba receives treatment after a high challenge from Evans. The Man United defender is lucky to avoid a booking.

72 Rooney knocks a short free-kick to Valencia but the Man United winger sees his effort blocked by the Chelsea wall.

71 Rooney tumbles under Terry's challenge on the edge of the Chelsea box to give Man United a free-kick in a decent position.

70 Giggs' corner from the right is cleared away from danger by a commaning header from Drogba. This is a good spell of pressure for Man United.

69 Rooney is becoming the key figure in this game as his looping effort from just outside the left hand side of the box is turned over the top of his bar by Cech.

68 We are nearing the final stages of this match. Both sides are creating chances so we could see an entertaining conclusion.

67 Rooney sees his driven effort from the edge of the box go narrowly wide of Cech's right hand post. Good attempt from the Man United striker.

66 We have a break in play as Giggs and Ivanovic receive treatment after a collision. They will both be fine to continue.

65 Chelsea make their expected change with Joe Cole taking the place of Deco.

64 Giggs heads O'Shea's cross from the right high over the top of the bar. It looks like wingers could hold the key to this match.

63 Lampard is the latest player who fails to cause any problems with a long-range effort as his shot is easily gathered by van der Sar.

62 It looks like Chelsea are preparing to bring on Joe Cole. Deco will probably be the man to be replaced after a poor performance today.

60 Fletcher sees his powerful effort from the edge of the box blocked by Carvalho and Chelsea clear the loose ball. Great work from the defender.

59 Ivanovic becomes the first player to be booked in this match as he is penalised for a late challenge on Giggs.

58 Ballack's low cross from the right narrowly evades everyone in the Man United box and O'Shea is able to clear on the opposite flank.

56 Giggs' cross from the left is headed clear by Ivanovic as both sides continue to make space in wide areas.

55 Drogba's free-kick from 30 yards strikes the wall and bounces back to the Chelsea striker. He wastes his second chance as he knocks the ball straight out of play for a goal-kick.

54 Ivanovic tumbles under the challenge of Evra to give Chelsea a free-kick in a dangerous position. Entertaining start to this half.

53 Cech does well to race out of his goal and collect the ball ahead of Rooney as he looks to reach van der Sar's commanding clearance.

52 Deco's free-kick from the left flank is headed clear of danger by Evans at the far post.

51 Drogba sends a poor effort high over the top of the bar from 35 yards as his frustrating match continues.

50 Man United have started this half brightly and cause some more worries for Chelsea as Cech is forced to gather the ball at the feet of Rooney.

49 Chelsea fail to find space on the edge of the Man United box as Lampard pokes the ball wide of van der Sar's left hand post. Drogba was also looking to find room.

48 Giggs' lofted cross from the left narrowly evades Anderson and goes out of play for a goal-kick. Positive start to Man United to this half.

47 Fletcher sends a wild shot drifting high over the top of the bar as Man United make a bright start to this half.

HT The referee blows his whistle for half-time. The score is 0-0 with both sides needing to improve their quality in the final third. Let me know your thoughts on the action so far at nick.hext@bskyb.com.

45 Drogba sends a wild effort high over the top of the bar from the right hand side of the Man United box as we enter the one and only minute of additional time.

41 Terry is back on the field as Man United see a neat passing move end as Ashley Cole clears the ball with a commanding header.

40 We have a break in play as Terry receives treatment following a collision with Ashley Cole. Man United are unhappy with the referee for stopping play as the defender does not have a head injury.

39 Rooney does fantastic to track back and win the ball from Anelka as the Chelsea striker looks to create space on the right flank.

38 Ballack concedes a free-kick in the Man United box as he fouls Fletcher in his bid to reach Lampard's cross from the right. Both sides continue to lack a bit of quality in the final third.

37 Rooney cuts in from the left flank and sees a driven effort blocked. The striker should have sent the ball to Valencia.

36 Giggs wastes the chance to play Anderson through one-on-one with Cech as he sends a sloppy pass straight out of play for a goal-kick.

35 Evra storms forward but he can only send a loose long ball forward drifting through to Cech in the Chelsea box.

34 Anderson sees a sloppy pass cut-out by Terry as both sides continue to operate at a quick tempo. No major chances so far but plenty of entertainment.

32 We have a slight break in play after an aerial challenge between Valencia and Terry. Both players are fine to continue.

30 Fletcher's superb lofted long ball forward is flicked narrowly over the top of the bar by a flicked effort from Giggs. That would have been a fantastic goal.

29 Anelka creates some space on the edge of the box and sends a driven effort straight at van der Sar. Chelsea continue to create more chances.

28 Lampard wastes the chance as he fires his free-kick straight into the Man United wall. Poor set-pieces from the Chelsea midfielder so far.

27 Drogba wins a free-kick for Chelsea in a shooting position as he is pushed to the ground by Brown.

26 Ashley Cole does well to win the ball from Fletcher as the Man United midfielder looks to create space on the edge of the Chelsea box.

25 Brown wins a free-kick as he is hauled to the ground by Drogba in the Man United box. Neat through ball from Essien to create the danger.

24 Lampard produces an awful free-kick from the left flank as he sends a looping effort high over the top of the bar. Both sides need a bit more composure in the final third.

23 Anelka does well to win a free-kick for Chelsea on the left flank as he is knocked to the ground by a silly challenge from O'Shea.

22 Anelka's bid to slide a neat pass to Drogba is cut out by Evans and Man United are again able to bring the ball clear.

21 John O'Shea's long ball forward drifts through to Evans and the defender is able to start another period of possession for Man United.

20 Valencia sends a wild effort high over the top of the bar from 30 yards. No danger there for Cech.

19 Both sides are trying to attack at speed so far. Man United have enjoyed more possession but it is Chelsea who have missed a couple of decent chances.

15 Anderson fails to reach Rooney's attempted through ball and Petr Cech is able to gather possession.

13 Rooney sees his appeals for a free-kick rejected as he feels the ball hit Carvalho on the arm. Correct decision from the referee.

12 Giggs' poor corner from the left is headed high over the top of the bar by Darren Fletcher as the Man United midfielder has to race back to reach the ball.

11 Rooney makes space in the Chelsea box and sees his powerful effort deflected behind for a corner by Carvalho.

10 Wes Brown does well to usher the ball back to van der Sar as he is put under plenty of pressure by Anelka. Chelsea's attack are looking dangerous.

9 Ryan Giggs loses possession to Ivanovic on the left flank and Michael Essien is able to nip in and clear the danger.

8 Rooney is caught offside as he looks to reach Anderson's ball behind the Chelsea defence. Correct decision from the linesman.

7 Ricardo Carvalho's bid to bring the ball forward is halted by a strong challenge from Evans.

6 Chelsea enjoy a spell of posession at the back with Man United allowing them time on the ball with Wayne Rooney playing as their sole striker.

5 Bright start from Chelsea to this match. It is a lively atmosphere at Stamford Bridge which should encourage the home side.

2 Ashley Cole does well to win the ball from Antonio Valencia with a strong challenge on the left flank. Throw-in to Man United.

The players are now ready for the match after a minute's silence on Remembrance Sunday.

We are nearing kick-off as the players from both teams provide a guard of honour for members of the Armed Forces.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson he only wanted to have players who were fit and ready for the game to play so Jonny Evans and Wes Brown were the logical choice to play in the centre of defence.

Here is some more information about today's teams: Centre-back Ricardo Carvalho returns to partner John Terry in the centre of Chelsea's defence for their Premier League clash with Manchester United. Deco is preferred to Joe Cole at the front of the midfield diamond, while Branislav Ivanovic continues at right-back and Ashley Cole is at left-back after missing the last two league games through injury. Nicolas Anelka and Michael Ballack both return after being left out of the starting line-up for the 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid in midweek. Dimitar Berbatov is omitted from United's side, as is defender Nemanja Vidic. The Bulgaria striker has not recovered from the knock that kept him out of midweek Champions League action and the Serbia centre-back was relegated to the bench.

Lee in Lincolnshire thinks Wayne Rooney will shine for Manchester United today and help them secure a 2-1 victory. Let me know if you agree at nick.hext@bskyb.com.

The teams in full for today's match are: Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Deco, Drogba, Anelka Subs: Hilario, Joe Cole, Mikel, Malouda, Paulo Ferreira, Kalou, Alex

Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Brown, Jonathan Evans, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson, Valencia, Rooney, Giggs Subs: Kuszczak, Owen, Vidic, Scholes, Fabio Da Silva, Obertan, Gibson Referee: Martin Atkinson (W Yorkshire)

Chelsea are evens to win this match with Sky Bet, Man United are 3/1 and you can back the draw at 9/4.

Welcome to our live coverage of the massive Premier League clash between Chelsea and Manchester United. These two sides are only separated by Arsenal in the table so there is plenty to play for today.
