CHELSEA 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED: Full Blues player ratings from Stamford Bridge as Liam Rosenior's team were beaten by Manchester United
Chelsea could go seven points behind Liverpool tomorrow if the Reds beat Everton after losing 1-0n to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
United took the lead not long before half time through Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian smashed the ball past Robert Sanchez and into the top corner.
The Blues hit the woodwork three times but once again failed to score, meaning Liam Rosenior's side have now gone four Premier League matches without finding the back of the net. Not including added time, Chelsea have now gone more than six hours without scoring.

Bobby Vincent has rated the Chelsea players out of 10 based on their performance tonight.
Robert Sanchez - The Spaniard could do nothing about Cunha's goal. He wasn't called upon too much apart from that. 6
Malo Gusto - Gusto bombed down the right side on a couple of occasions but was not found by his teammates. Didn't have too much to deal with down his side in a defensive sense. 6
Wesley Fofana - The Frenchman started well and dealt with United's dangerous attack quite well. Fofana was off the pitch when United opened the scoring. Overall, thought he did quite well. 6
Jorrel Hato - Hato makes a crucial interception to prevent Matheus Cunha 25 minutes in and takes a whack from the Brazilian in the process. Thankfully he was okay after a piece of good defending. Immense in the second half. 7
Marc Cucurella - The Spain international was unable to offer an attacking threat and was beaten down his side a few times. Not his best. 5
Moises Caicedo - After signing a contract extension this week, Caicedo captained the side instead of Enzo Fernandez. Not his best game. Some interceptions and tackles as you would expect but nothing to write home about. 5
Enzo Fernandez - The Argentine returned to the squad and straight back into the side after his two-match ban. Did his best to drop deep, collect the ball and look to help his side out from the back. Seemed to be involved in lots of Chelsea's play. Almost put Chelsea ahead 33 minutes in. 6
Estevao Willian - The Brazilian came close to putting Chelsea ahead, clipping the post, but minutes later pulled up with an injury and was forced off just 15 minutes in. N/A
Cole Palmer - Against his boyhood club, it felt like Palmer was due a big performance. Unfortunately that did not come. A bit of nice footwork around half an hour in won Chelsea a free-kick in a dangerous position but nothing came from it. Poor again. 5
Pedro Neto - Neto put in a couple of dangerous deliveries. Arguably Chelsea's most dangerous attacker, but that isn't saying much. He was still wasteful at times. 5
Liam Delap - In for the injured Joao Pedro. Once again, Delap just wasn't able to get involved. Yes, he didn't have the service but he needs to try and get himself involved somehow. 4
Alejandro Garnacho (on for Estevao 15') - On earlier than expected to a not-so-warm reception from the travelling supporters. When he came on, he immediately went over to the right-hand side, but it wasn't long until he switched flanks with Neto. Struggled to get anything going. 4
Josh Acheampong (on for Gusto 81') - N/A
Trevoh Chalobah (on for Fofana 81') - N/A
