Manchester United take on Chelsea at Old Trafford in a game that should have a huge say in the Premier League title race.

Here's all you need to know:

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.

Form guide…

Manchester United: DWDDW

Chelsea: WWLWW

92 min: Chelsea have failed to make a single shot on goal - the first time since December 15. Pretty dire reading for all those Blues' fans and sums up their side's performance today.

FULL TIME: Manchester United 2-0 Chelsea

​And that's that! What a performance from United - arguably their best performance of the season. Mourinho completely outfoxed his predecessor with United's set-up proving too much for the visitors to handle. Both Rashford and Herrera were excellent and played a vital role in guiding the home side to victory. The first time United have beaten Chelsea since Sir Alex Ferguson. It's all smiles for Mourinho but it's a victory that leaves the title race wide open.
