United players arrive

Right, focusing on tonight then.

United players have arrived at Old Trafford ahead of the game, with around 80 minutes to go until kick off.

A win tonight could in theory see the Red Devils go fifth in the Premier League table, while Chelsea are aiming to move up to eighth.

Is Ten Hag losing the dressing room?

Anyway, here's our piece on how United's dressing room spiralled downhill when Sir Alex Ferguson left.

United turn on the media

The talk around Manchester United this week has once again been negative, with a number of high-profile media organisations being banned from the ground by Erik ten Hag.

The struggling Red Devils have taken drastic action against Sky Sports, the Mirror, ESPN and the Manchester Evening News over reports that United players are beginning to turn on manager Ten Hag.

United said the bans were issued ‘not for publishing stories we don’t like, but for doing so without contacting us first to give us the opportunity to comment, challenge or contextualise’.

Plenty of games tonight

There are six matches tonight in the Premier League, so it promises to be an action-packed few hours.

Brighton vs Brentford, Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth, Fulham vs Forest and Chris Wilder's Sheffiled United vs Liverpool all kick off at 7:30.

Hello!

Good evening one and all and welcome to Mail Sport's live blog for Manchester United's game against Chelsea at Old Trafford this evening.

It's two sides that are underachieiving this season, to be honest, but a win here would be a big plus in terms of helping either side improve on what have been mixed fortunes of late.

Kick off is scheduled for 8:15, and we'll be bringing you updates from Aston Villa versus Manchester City too, which kicks off at the same time.
