00:00An 18-year-old Scottish ball user, Billy Gilmore.
00:04After his Premier League hat-trick at the weekend,
00:06Christian Pulisic is one of five here who began that game at Burnley.
00:11And of the team which lost heavily at Old Trafford 11 and a half weeks ago,
00:15only Zouma, Jorginho and Kovacic start now.
00:21Interestingly, Manchester United, whose need is arguably the greater,
00:24includes six of the 11 who launched the season with that 4-0 win,
00:28and only four outfield players, Juan Bissaka, Rojo, Fred and Lingard,
00:32were in the side which rather limped past Rochster in round three.
00:36They revert to a back three, inviting a recall for Marcus Rojo.
00:4019-year-old left wing-back Brandon Williams excelled in Europe last week
00:44and is their nod to youth.
00:46Jesse Lingard is given another chance to rebuild his form and confidence
00:49and Marcus Rashford, who got two of the four against Chelsea in August,
00:54leads the line.
01:23I think I controlled the ball initially with his arm before setting off on that,
01:27that's a wriggling run of him.
01:43Castle.
01:46Quite a sprinkling of draws in there.
01:48But it's not all doom and gloom.
01:50And they have the ball now with James.
01:53Alonso's tackle, penalty.
01:58Marcos Alonso was always taking a risk.
02:03If he threw in a boot from behind,
02:06James was leaving it behind.
02:09The contact was perceptible,
02:12if certainly not heavy.
02:15James crashed to earth.
02:26Face-to-face with Willy Cavallaro.
02:36Rashford converts,
02:38without complication,
02:40and Manchester United have a lead at Stamford Bridge.
02:43And an eye on the last eight of the Carabao Cup.
02:57Cavallaro was off in an entirely different direction.
03:02Rashford left with plenty to aim at.
03:06And he did not err.
03:18And there may be some debate about the merits or demerits of the penalty award in the first instance.
03:25Alonso, as I say, was taking a...
03:35James, Hudson-Odoi.
03:39Across the face.
03:41In blue, especially close.
03:44Rashford.
03:50Lingard.
03:55No complication for Cavallaro.
04:02Achuayi.
04:04Alonso!
04:05And scraped right across the face by Callum Hudson-Odoi.
04:10For whom that is the chance of the game so far.
04:20Alonso served it up for him.
04:23And he didn't make the contact that was required.
04:28And still,
04:30Chelsea are without a shot on top.
04:34Now striding forward come Chelsea,
04:36and it is rolled by Gilmour towards Hudson-Odoi.
04:40Back out to Gilmour,
04:41who screams handball.
04:42Paul Tierney was right over his shoulder.
04:46What do we see?
04:50VAR or no VAR?
04:52There wasn't a hand involved there.
04:54Gilmour
04:55doesn't have a case.
05:03Here's Hudson-Odoi.
05:08Christian Pulisic.
05:11Pulisic!
05:11Neither a pass for VAR nor a threatening shot at goal.
05:24Much more progressive start to the second half.
05:28In terms of action
05:30around or inside either goal area
05:32than much of what we saw in the first.
05:36Angle from behind Rojo.
05:39Angle from behind Rojo.
05:41Rorginho.
05:44Here's Hudson-Odoi!
05:47Here's the crossbar.
05:49But again, that's more like it from Chelsea.
05:52A bit more direct this time.
05:55Simple ball into a channel.
05:58Hudson-Odoi, without a touch, let it drop.
06:01And hit it.
06:05Good ball from Pulisic.
06:12Batshuayi.
06:13Driving up Rojo, away from Maguire.
06:16Super hit!
06:17Super goal!
06:19Wow, that's a beauty in blue from Mishy Batshuayi.
06:30Strong, direct, powerful piercing.
06:361-1.
06:371-1.
06:44He took it from Caviaro's clearance.
06:47Nudged himself into space.
06:49Held off Maguire.
06:50And speared it into the bottom corner.
06:55It's a really good goal.
06:57And we are back where we started.
07:01Fred's after it again.
07:04Again, the key defender.
07:06Brandon Williams.
07:08Fred!
07:10This is it wide.
07:19Probably the most prolific.
07:23He's in the midfielder.
07:24It's dead straight.
07:26No angle to work with.
07:35Marcus Rashford.
07:36Oh, glorious!
07:39That is a special one.
07:50For distance, power, accuracy, and indeed significance,
07:57Marcus Rashford can count that amongst his best.
08:07It is a magnificent strike of the football.
08:14Might just have got a touch off the wall.
08:21Regardless, devilish dip at the end, which took it beneath the bar.
08:26And established for Manchester United, a 2-1 lead at the bridge.
08:31Oh, that's not ideal.
08:31But galosh.
08:32Oh, yeah.
08:32Oh, yeah.
08:32Oh, yeah.
