Updates from Old Trafford (4.30pm KO GMT)Get in touch: email Rob with your thoughts
We interrupt the Manchester United news cycle to bring you an association football match from Old Trafford: United v Chelsea in the Premier League. The focus will be on United, as it tends to be when they’ve just sacked another manager, but it’s probably a bigger game for Chelsea. A win would take them fourth in the table*, five points behind the leaders Liverpool, and set them up for an even bigger game at home to Arsenal next weekend.
All logic says Chelsea won’t be title contenders until next season at the earliest, although this isn’t a club that cares much for logic. And they have Cole Palmer, whose imagination and brilliance are making even the most level-headed neutral get carried away.
