Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford!
MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw; Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba; Andreas Pereira, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial; Marcus Rashford.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Sergio Romero, Juan Mata, Ashley Young, Axel Tuanzebe, Nemanja Matic, Mason Greenwood, Daniel James.
Frank Lampard takes charge of his first Premier League game as manager of Chelsea today after joining them from Derby County in July. The Europa League winners finished third last season but their fans will be hoping that they can be more consistent this term. United enjoyed an impressive spell under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when he first took over in December, but after a poor run of form in the final games of the season, they finished sixth. They will also be determined to improve in the 2019-20 campaign.
CHELSEA STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Emerson; Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic; Pedro, Ross Barkley, Mason Mount; Tammy Abraham.
CHELSEA SUBS: Willy Caballero, Kenedy, Fikayo Tomori, Christian Pulisic, Marcos Alonso, N'Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Despite not getting on the scoresheet, Lampard will be impressed with how his side attacked in the first half as they have created some good chances for themselves. If they start the second half the way they did the first, they could get an early equaliser. As for United, they've got into some good positions themselves, but have barely tested Kepa since early in the first half.
There were positives for Chelsea to take from the game, especially in an attacking sense as they hit the woodwork twice in the first half and forced some good saves out of De Gea. They will need to put this result behind them though as their attention now turns to their UEFA Super Cup match against Liverpool on Wednesday. United get off to a winning start in the league and Solskjaer will be impressed with the performance his side put in today.
