Chelsea beat Manchester United 4-3 in a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge and both lost their lead.
Cole Palmer, the hero, scored a hat-trick, adding two in stoppage time, to push the Blues back 3-2 and win.
The Blues led 2-0. Man United went into stoppage time 3-2.
Then they imploded and Mauricio Pochettino took the spoils.
7′ – They respond with a movement to the right.
Fernandes discovered himself in the box and fired a shot that was blocked by Cucurella.
4′ – WE’VE TAKEN OFF!
Gusto goes down to the right.
He broke through a low cross that deflected to Gallagher, and kept his cool to fire low past Onana.
This can simply be a game!
Minto: “Two Chelsea passes down the right, Dalot is nowhere to be found.
“The center veers off to Gallagher and Onana can’t see the shot, but he still has to make that save. “
2′ – Lively start from both sides as Man United attack down the right.
Antony discovered Wan-Bissaka and his ball inside the box was sent to the winger.
He makes a blocking shot.
Chelsea take a step and Palmer suffocates.
The Blues got us on the road kicking from left to right towards Shed End.
Chelsea are dressed in blue and Man United are dressed in their classic red and white.
Jarred Gillett leads both teams of players here at Stamford Bridge.
Ten minutes before kick-off!
Construction is anticipated at Stamford Bridge and we are nearing its start.
The first season at Chelsea was a difficult one for Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine struggled to get some consistency from his side and revealed that he was concerned about how his players approached his big moves.
Approximately 30 minutes before kick-off here in west London, with both teams going through their pre-match routines.
In a season of inconsistency and horrendous individual performances, Cole Palmer has been extraordinary for Chelsea.
He is their top scorer and has the best record in penalty kicks.
But he’s also a player and he’s done everything he can to get Chelsea to score goals.
Unfortunately some of his teammates have not been at the same time as the England international, who has been a very good signing.
Since this adjustment is happening at Stamford Bridge, it’s to see Mason Mount’s blouse in red instead of blue.
It would be to say that Manchester United were more than desperately opposed to Brentford.
The Bees beat the Red Devils from start to finish, recording the most shots in their Premier League history and taking more than 80 touches in the Man United area.
The game followed a break and Erik ten Hag hinted that his players were being pushed to the limit.
That’s right, Chelsea remain incredibly unchanged despite a terrible performance against Burnley.
Mauricio Pochettino will have to feel that he will get a response from his team.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag dropped Marcus Rashford for Antony.
Harry Maguire replaces Victor Lindelof and Mason Mount is on the bench for his return to Stamford Bridge.
Casemiro replaces Scott McTominay.
That’s how we expect both groups to align tonight.
Chelsea: Petrovic, Gusto, Disasi, Badiashile, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Gallagher, Palmer, Mudryk, Jackson
Substitutes: Bettinelli, Chalobah, Gilchrist, Thiago Silva, Casadei, Chukwuemeka, Madueke, Sterling, Taurianinen
Man United: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Dalot, Mainoo, Casemiro, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund
Substitutes: Heaton, Evans, Kambwala, Diallo, Amrabat, Eriksen, McTominay, Mount, Rashford
Well, it won’t be long until we see the Stamford Bridge XI showcased.
Here’s how the Premier League standings stand heading into this match.
If Man United win, they will move eight points behind Aston Villa and move away from the chasing group.
A draw wouldn’t do much good for either team, while a win for Les Boues would put them in the top ten.
Not that either team goes through to this one after two dismal performances against Burnley and Brentford, respectively.
The Blues failed to beat the Clarets by ten men and were booed, while United sent 30 shots to the Bees and somehow managed to equalise.
We’ll have live watching of this on talkSPORT 2.
Joe Shennan and former Chelsea player Scott Minto will take you into the action at Stamford Bridge.
Mason Mount’s return to Chelsea is a big topic of conversation heading into tonight.
The England international graduated from the Cobham academy but failed to secure a new contract with the Blues and left for Man United last summer.
He is one of Erik ten Hag’s main targets, but after a slow start at Old Trafford, Mount was injured and has been out for a long time.
He scored his first goal for the Red Devils against Brentford on Saturday, and it will be desirable to see what kind of reception he receives from those who adored him.
We have just over an hour to go until kick-off at Stamford Bridge.
Both are there and enthusiasts make their way to the lobby.
The hosts have been plagued by injuries all season and again without many players.
Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Reece James and Ben Chilwell are the players Chelsea are expected to be missing.
Meanwhile, Man United were without Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof for a month due to calf and hamstring disorders respectively.
Luke Shaw is out, as is Tyrell Malacia, who hasn’t played a single minute this season.
Hello and welcome to talkSPORT. com’s policy on Chelsea’s home game against Manchester United.
They are two of the groups that have won the Premier League since its inception in 1992.
However, while they once fought for titles, both sides are now fighting for any form of European competition.
Man United are in sixth place, but have a lot of teams around their necks, with the top four falling away, while the Blues are in 12th place.
Both sides are chaotic and incoherent, so who will happen?
