Chelsea in control, Swansea in trouble, United frustrated
Half-time in all the Premier League games and we've had goals at the top and bottom. Chelsea are heading nine points clear as it stands thanks to Cahill's header, Leicester are beating West Ham and Bournemouth and steaming past Swansea. Burnley lead Sunderland, Southampton are level with West Brom and, at Old Trafford, United are being held by Middlesbrough.
United might be drawing a blank against Middlesbrough but they feel they should be ahead. Zlatan Ibrahimovic had the ball in the net, poking past Victor Valdes, but he was penalised for a high foot. Mourinho might have something to say about that if United don't win this game.
