Kicks off at 12:30 today, live on MUTV if you have it, also sure to be available through more nefarious means too.
Looking forward to this, we've got a few players out but Will Keane starts for the first time, I think, since his injury so it'll be good to have a recognised striker in the team.

1-0 Chelsea, Johnstone fails to deal with a corner and it falls to Chalobah who sticks it in from 2 yards.

HT, 2-0 to Chelsea.
Chelsea deserve their lead, had more pressure and have got at our defence a lot more than we've managed but it's disappointing that both goals have come from corners, Johnstone has had a decent game as well but just got crowded out by his own defenders for the first and dropped the ball right on the Chelsea players foot, second is just a good header that's looped over Cole who's stood on the post but never had a chance of stopping it.
It's gonna take a big performance from the lads to come back into this one, Chelsea have a very strong midfield and could make it very difficult in the second half for us but we've shown little glimpses of being able to create something, it think we just need to up the tempo a bit, though that's hard with the weather today and on a bigger pitch than they're used to.

2-1 Lingard, lovely half volley from a corner won from a great bit of skill and shot from Pogba, we've started this second half well.

3-1 Chelsea, Devyne gets on the end of a low cross to the back post, completely unmarked, shame as we've been the better team this half and looked the more likely to score.
edit: nearly and immediate reply from United as Pogba gets on the end of a cross but it ends in a bit of a scramble in the box and Pogba ends up poking it over while lay on the floor.

Chelsea 3-2 United, FT.
Very good second half from United, unfortunate to concede really as a draw would have been a fair result overall, sets it up well for the second leg at OT in 10 days time.

Decent result in the end, would have taken that at HT. With Morrison back for the 2nd leg, we still have a great chance of going through.

Morrison goes best in centre mid. He's like a better version of Anderson, always driving forward. Although, don't get me wrong, he has some excellent silks so is good at beating the fullbacks on the wing.
