27 MINS

And again Chelsea come close to scoring. This time it's Diego Costa. Hazard whips in a low ball towards the Spanish striker, but it gets caught under his feet and he fails to test De Gea.

The United defence are all over the place.

30 MINS

Pogba looses possession in the middle of the park and the Chelsea side pounce and redeem possession. The home side look sharp and energetic and United, well, they look the opposite.

There will be two very different team talks in the dressing rooms today. I wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of Mourinho after a dismal performance like this.

Blind is trying to bring Rashford into the game more with long, over the top balls but they are having no luck. Getting a goal before the break would be crucial for the visitors, but it is not looking likely right now...

Ibrahimovic has been quiet and Pogba has looked sloppy. They need to step it up a gear, or two.

YELLOW CARD

David Luiz is given a warning for a studs up challenge. That could have been a red - he got very lucky there.

HALF TIME SUBSTITUTION

Mata replaces Fellaini.

And the second half has started. 

Let's see if Mourinho's half-time team talk can change and improve on his sides dismal first half performance.

Chelsea look to have started this half with the same menace and confidence that they began the first one. Hazards quick feet are causing problems for the defending United players, but have Mourinho's men got what it takes to make the comeback?

We will see.

GOAL

CHELSEA 4 - 0 MANCHESTER UNITED

And that's 4. Kante has got the fourth, after more poor defending from United. It's brilliant from the French midfielder who weaved in and out of the Red defence, and slips it past De Gea into the bottom corner. 

There's no way back for Mourinho's men, as Conte celebrates on the sidelines.

86 MINS

The United players continue to chase down the ball, but it's a hopeless attempt. The four goal deficit is proving too big of a challenge.
