Chelsea made a sluggish start at Stamford Bridge, where Manchester United have been on top in the early stages.

Thibaut Courtois was called upon twice in the opening 15 minutes, comfortably gathering low-range efforts from Cameron Borthwich-Jackson and Michael Carrick.

Blues keeper Courtois then produced a fine save, diving to his left to push away Anthony Martial’s curling shot.

Chelsea skipper John Terry was given a predictably rousing reception by the home fans on his first appearance at the Bridge since announcing that he is not being offered a new contract and will leave the club when his current deal expires at the end of the season.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Terry, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Oscar; Costa.
Subs: Begovic, Baba Rahman, Cahill, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Traore, Hazard.
