The Premier League is back! And isn't it about time? What a cracker we have to start the weekend, too. Chelsea versus Manchester United, one of the greatest rivalries in English football which has only intensified by the fact Blues legend Jose Mourinho is now in charge of the Red Devils. But for how much longer? He has never met Maurizio Sarri in a competitive game before - until today. Kick-off is 45 minutes away and we have LIVE text commentary. Hang on tight, it's going to be exciting.

End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME
Wow. What a match. Chelsea are still unbeaten, their 97th minute equaliser preventing United from a second consecutive win. Plenty of talking points. Check out our website for the full run down.
90'+7
Mourinho appears to have lost it after a member of the Chelsea backroom staff celebrated wildly in front of him. A dramatic end to a dramatic match.
90'+6
GOAAAALLLL! Chelsea 2-2 Man Utd
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? Barkley levels the scores! A goal-mouth scramble, the ball hits the post and Barkley fires in a last-gasp equaliser for Chelsea. And now it's all kicking off in the dugout!

90'+2
CHELSEA PENALTY APPEAL! Mike Dean isn't interested. Pedro's cross found Giroud who stabs it wide at the near post, but the Frenchman wants a spot-kick for the challenge on him by Lindelof. Would have been harsh.
90'
SIX minutes will be added on! Where did that come from?! There is still time for a late, late Chelsea equaliser.
88'
Questions will be asked of Sarri if Chelsea go on to lose this one. They will have dropped points, at home, to Liverpool and United from winning positions, in consecutive matches.
86'
Alonso chips a cross in from the left but United clear without too much trouble. Time is running out for the Blues.

UNITED SUB: Alexis Sanchez comes on for the last five minutes, he replaces Rashford.

Giroud has been brought on to link the play, and that's exactly what he does. The Frenchman exchanges passes with Hazard, setting the latter up for a shot, which is blocked by Shaw.

78'
CHELSEA SUB: Olivier Giroud replaces Morata in the Chelsea attack. It's a massive 12 minutes for the Blues. Can the Frenchman provide the spark?

What a finish it was from Martial - could it prove the decisive moment? Rashford's vision shouldn't be overlooked, either. Mourinho's side have looked like a different team in the second period.

MARTIAL AT THE DOUBLE! United are ahead! Mata dances past Luiz and picks out Rashford, who spreads the ball to Martial in space on the left side of the penalty area. He looks up and curls an unstoppable effort beyond Kepa and into the bottom corner.
