Chelsea Vs Manchester United Match Analysis:
Tuchel’s unbeaten start at Chelsea faces another big test as away-specialists Manchester United come to town. A Chelsea win would see us go back into fourth, and only three points in the back of both United and Leicester City, who Lost to Arsenal in the past today.
2min: At the moment, it does look like Chelsea are set up in a back 4, with Chilwell withdrawn and CHO high up the right. Mount fires a cross to Giroud on the far post and Shaw defends it well. Chelsea corner.
4min: In possession, Chelsea seem to be settling in with 3 at the back and Chilwell/CHO as the wingbacks. While CHO is much higher, Chilwell seems to be advanced as well.
8min: Chelsea defends Rashford’s attacking movement on our right really well, with Dave cutting off his run. They play it out of danger fast and efficiently to spring a counter which is eventually slowed down as Chelsea begin to probe left to right to work an attack into another corner.
10min: Ensuing corner is headed out by Maguire and United spring a counter through Rashford, but Chilwell does well cutting off a cross into Greenwood.
12min: Mount and McTominay collide, with Mount pulling out of high boot and McTominay landing on Mount. Unsurprisingly, McTominay is awarded the free kick despite his high boot creating the contact...
14min: Rashford hits it well but Mendy punches it clear. Chelsea spring the counter, but are forced to probe again as United get back into a solid shell quickly. Ziyech fires in a low shot ~25 yards out, but De Gea easily collects.
15min: Ref Stuart Atwell is checking VAR for a possible handball. Atwell decides CHO did not handle the ball in the box, and it’s a drop ball to United.
18min: Lindelof and Giroud collide on a 50/50 near the halfway line, and Atwell awards Chelsea the free kick from Lindelof’s foul.
20min: Chelsea through the first quarter of the match look very, very comfortable. Momentum seems to favor the Blues, with possession and solid defending cutting out any United attack before it can become more dangerous. Hopefully this continues.
22min: Chelsea launch a fast counter with Mount switching it to CHO from left to the right. CHO races down and lays it off for Dave, who wall passes it back to CHO on the edge of the box to hit a shot just wide far post.
24min: Kante’s presence in the midfield to disrupt anything United has been a blessing and a delight through the match so far.
26min: CHO putting in the defensive effort today, winning the ball back and starting a counter with Chelsea switching from right to left. Mount fires an early cross but no one making the far post run.
28min: Chelsea’s counter press has been relentless today. Despite some dreadful passing, Chelsea have hounded United quickly to win back possession and transition into a break at such a fast pace. Only thing missing is end product.
30min: One thing to keep an eye on is Rashford looking to run directly behind Christensen with more frequency as of late. Christensen has done well this far, but may need more help as United look to switch to long balls over the top to get at Chelsea’s defense.
32min: Giroud picks up De Gea’s dreadful clearance ~30 yards out, but one-times it over the goal. Probably had time to take a touch there.

36min: Giroud achingly close to get a head onto CHO’s cross. He’s looking a bit banged up from that effort also. That was inches away from a goal.
38min: Rashford runs into the media boards pretty hard chasing down another ball over the top. Looks to be in a bit of pain, but walks it off.
39min: Ziyech is down holding his head after Lindelof clatters in behind him. That’s the second player (other was Giroud) Lindelof fouled hard on a 50/50. No card.

43min: United win another corner and Dave easily clears. United win back possession and are forced backwards by Chelsea’s counterpress.
44min: Christensen heads clear James’ cross, which had he not done so, Bruno was likely in on goal behind him. United eventually win a corner. Mendy swipes at the corner and directs it clear.
