Hello and welcome to our live comments from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host Manchester United.

Rooney keeps the ball in down the right but he's all alone. Chelsea can break down the other flank but Giggs brings it clear. Evra bundles forward, going down under pressure from Essien and Ivanovic - belatedly Webb gives a free-kick.

United really putting the pressure on now, Chelsea getting men behind the ball but unable to keep it post clearance. Finally they can break, Malouda on the left cuts inside but Carrick intercepts.

Torres charges forward, slipping it wide to Malouda but he loses out to Rafael. United swarm forward but overplay it, Young eventually crossing but Luiz nicking it clear.

Lovely one-touch play by Rooney and Welbeck, it ricochets off Meireles to WELBECK WITH A SNAP SHOT BUT PALMED AWAY BY CECH! Fine save!

@Nanderson: "of course torres is a ninja! have you ever seen him score? Exactly"

Giggs lofts a high ball in for Welbeck, who is beaten to it by Cech.

YOUNG WITH A SUPER SHOT BUT CECH PARRIES AND JUST AWAY FROM ROONEY ON THE LINE! Young took Ivanovic on, cut inside and let rip with one of his classic fizzing drives. Good stop in the end.

Young crosses in but headed clear. Evra sends one wide left but Meireles clears to Torres. United piling it on now.

Good footwork from Sturridge but Evra let him past too easily - De Gea tried to cover his near post but it went past him at pace and in off Evans's chest. Down the other end a Cech clearance lands for Rooney but he gets the pass wrong. Now Chelsea break and STURRIDGE FIRES IN A LOW DRIVE but well-saved De Gea!

GOAL CHELSEA! Sturridge slides a low ball in from a tight angle on the right and I think it went in off Evans!

STAT: Torres now has more cards than goals for Chelsea, a whopping four.

Evra is back up, dazed but fine. Ivanovic's cross caught him square in the face.

Evans is back on. Bosingwa comes forward. Wide left via Meireles but Ivanovic cannot cross. Evra is down and Rooney does well to draw a foul.

It was a foul from Torres but never a booking - not helped by Evans's over-reaction, clutching the small of his back in 'agony'. Torres would have to be some kind of ninja to hurt him with that kind of contact.

Rooney's ball ends up with Cech. Down the other end Evans lets the ball bounce to De Gea and Torres continues his run into the back of the defender - earning a rather harsh booking.

Chelsea clear the corner but United come again... good defending by Bosingwa this time to win a throw.

GREAT TACKLE IVANOVIC! Roonet was sent clean through down the right by an awesome Valencia pass, he opts to square it to Welbeck with Cahill covering but Ivanovic slides in just in time to prevent the tap-in. Corner.

Carrick finds Giggs, now Young is sent scuttling down the left but he runs it out. Poor from Luiz there.

Malouda fouls Rafael as it all gets a bit scrappy.

Young strays offside after Malouda slips. Fortunate. Webb has to deal with some kind of altercation... Welbeck involved so skipper Evra told to calm his charges down. Just for complaining decisions.

Good intervention by Evans after a deflection almost put Sturridge in, hooking the ball clear as he stretched. Mata then wins a free-kick on the right, off Evra.
