Chelsea, Man United play a goalless draw. Ole Gunnar Solkjaer’s side remains second but are now 12 points adrift of City while the result left Chelsea outside the top four a point behind West Ham United. Manchester United lost further ground on Premier League leaders Manchester City after they played out a drab goalless deadlock with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United – who have lost only one of their last 20 league games – thought they were about to be offered the chance to make a breakthrough in the first half but a penalty appeal for handball against Callum Hudson-Odoi was dismissed by referee Stuart Attwell after he was instructed to consult a pitchside monitor by the video assistant referee.
Chelsea, who remain unbeaten under new manager Thomas Tuchel, had chances but United keeper David de Gea made a fine second-half save from Hakim Ziyech while opposite number Edouard Mendy saved well from Scott McTominay and Fred was narrowly off target with a long-range effort.
Mendy also punched away a late effort from Bruno Fernandes. In the end, however, this was another game to add to the list of meetings between the so-called top six that ended in stalemate.
