Manchester United is hosting Chelsea at Old Trafford, as both sides hope to build on their developing form.
Result: Manchester United 0-0 Chelsea: Two sides cancel each other out in uninspiring draw at Old Trafford
United have bounced back from that terrible defeat by Tottenham, thrashing Newcastle last weekend before beating Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek. Chelsea also took encouragement from their goalless draw with Sevilla as they picked up a rare clean sheet, in no small part down to the return of Edouard Mendy in goal.
