DOING THESE GAMES
We've to keep a list of key moments for use in our report. I've been doing them for a fair few years now, and don't think I've ever gone 2- minutes into a game without grabbing one.
18'
LINDELOF IS IN ON WATKINS AND FINDS FRED
But he takes an extra touch right as Rashford goes, and though he's through, the flag goes up for offside. I'm not certain whose fault that was, but I am certain that between them, they should've stopped that from being the case.
18'
LINDELOF INTO FRED
It's not the kind of pass you'd like to receive but even so, Fred's first touch, sending the ball 10 yards back the other way, is miserable. Watkins can't make anything of it, though.
17'
MALACIA SPREADS A DECENT SWITCH THE WIDTH OF THE PITCH
Except Bruno, on the end of it, has somehow strayed offside. This is dreadful fare thus far.
15'
VAN DE BEEK IS LATE ON AUGUSTINSSON
He'slucky to avoid a card, but at least he's reminded us he's there.
14'
THIS HAS GOT VILLA ON PENALTIES
Written all over it.
13'
MCTOMINAY GETS THE BALL
And immediately turns backwards to send the ball away form the opposing goal. I do not get it.
12'
A QUIET PERIOD
Sorry, an even quieter period.
10'
UNITED ARE IMPROVING
Bruno spreads it left and Rashford slides in behind for the marauding Malacia, who comes from really deep. Young blocks his cross away for a corner and another poor effort is headed clear by Watkins.
8'
MALACIA CURVES A DECENT BALL INTO THE MIDDLE
Again, Olsen is slow to come, and in the end he has to slide in to take it away form Bruno and send it behind. The corner goes short and comes to nowt.
6'
MCGINN LOFTS A HOPEFUL BALL FORWARD FOR INGS
Who, for a second, looks to have got away form Lindelof. But Dubravka reads the bounce well and claims at the edge of his box.
6'
RASHFORD RUNS DOWN THE LEFT
And shows far too much of the ball to Ramsey, who dispossesses him easily. This has been a messy start.
5'
FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE MINUTES
Fred is slow to use the ball, and caught in possession.
4'
DALOT HUMPS ONE FORWARD
And it's bouncing towards Olsen as he backs away. In the end, Chambers manages to nod it back to him under pressure from Martial, but his keeper's tentativeness made that much harder than it needed to be.
2'
TWINKLETOED WINGER BRUNO
Tracks back and does well to win a goalkick as Ramsey seeks a corner.
1'
I WON'T LIE
I thought I'd seen the last of McFred, but here it is again.

MINUTE'S SILENCE
In memory of those who died in war.

THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT
The more Ings and Watkins look like a nightmare night for Lindelof and Maguire. Let's see...

THIS SHOULD BE DECENT
Here come our teams.
