Where can I watch it?

The game is part of Sky's Super Sunday coverage and begins on Sky Sports 1 upon the completion of the West Brom vs Liverpool game.

When does it kick off?

The game kicks off at Old Trafford at 4pm.

It’s a big game for…

Jose Mourinho. Judas may indeed still be No.1 but the Special One needs a big result here today with not only a Champions League spot to play for but also bragging rights after watching Antonio Conte sweep all before him with a squad that he himself failed so spectacularly with just a year ago.

Remember when...

Player to watch…

Eden Hazard. Kicked from pillar to post in the FA Cup tie only a matter of weeks ago Chelsea's star man will once again be out to exact a measure of revenge on his old boss and keep the Blues on course for the title.

Antonio Conte has said he has "zero problem" with Blues predecessor Jose Mourinho.

"It's a sporting competition between me and him," says the Chelsea boss.

"There is a game of football and I want to win with my team, he wants to win with his team. It's normal to be in conflict during the game but only a sporting conflict. 

 "It's very simple, the conflict is the game. It's not a friendly game, both teams want the three points and for this reason you fight to win."

Potential more bad news for Conte? After Courtois was withdrawn with an ankle injury it now seems Alonso could be in doubt. The player seemed to limp off during warm-up. More on this to come.

2 min: A bright start from Chelsea. Hazard drifts towards the United box before playing in Azpilicueta on the over lap. The defender cuts the ball back from the left-hand side byline but the home side defence gets a foot in to disrupt the attack.

5 min: Lingard puts pressure on David Luiz inside his own half, with the ball subsequently flying into the path of Rashford. The United forward charges forward and under pressure from Cahill lets loose with a shot on goal. He pulls it way wide though and it ends up rolling out for a Chelsea goal-kick.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea (Rashford, 7 min)

Ander Herrera catches Chelsea in possession in the centre of the park and immediately bursts into the open space ahead of him. After a 10-yard surge, he plays a perfectly-weighted through-ball in behind the visiting defence to set Rashford on his way. One on one with Begovic, the youngster holds his nerve to pick out the bottom left-hand corner. Great finish. The perfect start for Mourinho.
