Tuchel: "In our performance we must stop Manchester United performing"

Chelsea remained atop the Premier League on Sunday by coming from behind to draw 1-1 with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

Following Man City’s home victory over West Ham earlier in the day, Chelsea were ahead of the defending champions only on goal difference, but they edged a point ahead of City thanks to Jorginho’s equaliser from the penalty spot here. After a goalless first half, Jadon Sancho had given United the lead with his first Premier League goal, calmly slotting home after pouncing on an error by Jorginho. But the Italy midfielder made amends later in the second half, sending David de Gea the wrong way from the spot after Aaron Wan-Bissaka had fouled Thiago Silva in the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo, controversially dropped by caretaker United coach Michael Carrick, replaced a hobbling Sancho later in the game, but he could not provide the spark to make it back-to-back wins under his former teammate – with United waiting for Ralf Rangnick to arrive as their new interim manager. The Red Devils moved back up to eighth in the Premier League with the result, and they will look to push on once Rangnick takes his place in the Old Trafford dugout.

Man City vs West Ham: Team news

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hopes to have Jack Grealish and Phil Foden back for Sunday’s Premier League clash with West Ham.

The pair have both been sidelined with knocks with Grealish having not featured since the international break and Foden missing the midweek win over Paris St Germain. Guardiola said at a press conference: “Today is a day off, tomorrow training in the morning, we will see how they feel. We will not take risks but hopefully, they can come back soon.”

Kevin De Bruyne remains out with coronavirus. “He is a little bit tired, no taste. He is feeling better now. It is around seven or eight days already so a few more days ahead of him to make a PCR test and if negative, he will be back.”

David Moyes kept his cards close to his chest in his Friday press conference, but suggested the team had no new injuries. Michael Antonio will return to the starting line-up after he was rested in midweek.
