Follow all the action as Chelsea welcome Sheffield United to Stamford Bridge this afternoon. 

Frank Lampard’s side have shown serious improvements in recent weeks, having now kept a clean sheet in their last five successive matches, and can move into the top four with a victory. 

It’s been a different story for Sheffield United so far, though, with Chris Wilder’s side taking just one point from their opening seven games. Furthermore, the Blades have only scored three goals in total and desperately need a result to kickstart their season. Follow all the action below live: 

45+1 min

There’ll be four minutes of added time. Martial has shaken off his knock.

Now Martial is down and in pain after getting caught in the face by the arm and then the leg of Keane.

44 min

Fernandes limps to the touchline, before making his way back onto the pitch. He looks okay to continue.

Fernandes seems to be carrying an injury after a heavy challenge from Coleman. The physio is on to take a look.

Everton have struggled to sustain what was a strong start to this game. United look comfortable now.

Rashford robs James Rodriguez of the ball and plays Martial through on goal. The Frenchman’s low finish is saved by Pickford, and the flag is up for offside anyway.

Regardless of who scored, this has been an impressive response from United.

That United goal might have actually been a second for Fernandes. Rashford didn’t appear to get a touch on it, despite jumping for the header.

GOAL! Everton 1-2 Manchester United (Rashford)

Another brilliantly worked goal from United! The ball is played out to Fernandes on the left of the box, and the Portuguese midfielder lifts a delicate ball into the path of Rashford. His glanced header hits the inside of the left post and rolls behind the line.

United win a free kick about 30 yards out. Fernandes hits a flat effort towards goal and Lindelof very nearly gets a touch on it as it runs through to Pickford.
