Play is stopped because Wesley Fofana is sat on the pitch holding his ribcage.
It seems he got hurt when he was clattered by Robert Sanchez as the Chelsea goalkeeper came out to deal with that Bruno Fernandes free-kick.
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
Bruno Fernandes sends another free-kick into the box and Robert Sanchez gets clattered as he goes for it. He's up straight away so no harm done.

As TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher points out, Chelsea versus Manchester United has ended in a draw 27 times in the Premier League - the most draws of any matchup in the competition's history.
Will it be number 28 tonight?

There are chants for Frank Lampard coming from the Shed End after his promotion success with Coventry City.
It's the "Super Frank" chant from his playing days at Stamford Bridge and he was here last weekend.
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
Chelsea have the ball in the net as Liam Delap prods in from Cole Palmer's square ball after Enzo Fernandez's shot was palmed away. Palmer was offside as he went for the loose ball.
Use 'Get involved' to have your say
Ayden Heaven is going to give away a penalty if he carries on like this. Reckless.

A rare Manchester United break falls apart when Bryan Mbeumo mis-reads the run of his team-mates and plays a ball through the defence to no-one.

I thought that was just going to bend in at the last minute. That's a big chance, where he should be hitting the target.
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
Close for Chelsea as Enzo Fernandez does well to win the ball back from two Manchester United defenders and then shoots, but sends his effort just wide.

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
Enzo Fernandez takes the free-kick but it is poor, failing to clear the wall.
Use 'Get involved' to have your say
Delap needs a goal or I fear he may be cast aside in the summer, which would be a shame for him as I do like him as an old school nine. He won't get a better opportunity than tonight against this United back four.

Honestly, Garnacho has tried to become a lot less selfish since moving to Chelsea. That is a good thing usually, but sometimes he needs to just shoot.

Cole Palmer is fouled just outside the box by Ayden Heaven and Chelsea have a free-kick in a dangerous position...

The pass from Fernandes was excellent, and don't understimate Sesko's movement in the box- the defender has to follow him, leaving space at the edge of the box.
Everything about the move was excellent, apart from Cunha's touch.
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
A poor touch by Matheus Cunha inside the Chelsea box leaves him stretching and taking out Jorrel Hato as he tries to win the ball back. The whistle goes for a foul, plus a yellow card for the Manchester United forward.
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
Alejandro Garnacho drives forward for Chelsea before playing the ball out to Pedro Neto, but his cross is blocked.
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
Manchester United have another free-kick in a similar position to one they had earlier. Bruno Fernandes sends the ball into the box pretty much as he did before and - like before - it is headed away.
Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd
A bit of a lull in this game now, Estevao's injury and the stoppage for it having disrupted what was a pretty open game before then.

It is rare to have two English coached teams facing each other in a battle for Champions League places in the Premier League.
Liam Rosenior has had mixed fortunes since his arrival at Chelsea.
Michael Carrick is very much a caretaker still at Manchester United. He had done superbly until the last four games.

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League home games against Man Utd (W6 D5), and are looking to win three in a row against them at Stamford Bridge for the first time since April 2006.
Following their 2-1 win in September, Manchester United are looking to complete the Premier League double over Chelsea for just the second time after the 2019-20 campaign.
Chelsea vs Manchester United has been drawn more often than other fixture in Premier League history (27). Just seven of those 27 draws have been 0-0, also making it the fixture with the most score draws in the competition (20).
Since the start of March, no side in Europe’s big-five leagues has lost more games in all competitions than Chelsea coming into the weekend’s games (6 in 9 games). Their previous six defeats came over a period of 29 games (W15 D8 L6).
Manchester United have lost two of their last four league games (W1 D1), after only losing two of their previous 22 beforehand (W12 D8). They could lose back-to-back Premier League games for the first time this season – they are currently one of just two clubs yet to suffer two successive defeats in the competition in 2025-26, along with league-leaders Arsenal.
Chelsea have lost their last three Premier League matches – only once this century have they lost four games in a row, doing so in April/May 2023 under Frank Lampard. They haven’t lost four in a row without scoring a goal since February/March 1998, which included a home defeat to Man Utd.
Manchester United have kept just one clean sheet in their last 21 away Premier League matches, while their last two away clean sheets in the competition have come against teams managed by a former manager of theirs – 3-0 at Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester in March 2025 and 1-0 at David Moyes’ Everton in February 2026.
This game will be just the sixth Premier League meeting this season between two English managers, while it’s the first to be played as late as April in a season by two Englishmen starting the day in the top-six since April 1999, when John Gregory’s 6th-placed Aston Villa faced Harry Redknapp’s 5th-placed West Ham in a 0-0 draw.
Chelsea could welcome back Enzo Fernández for this game – the Argentinian has had the joint-most shots on target of any Blues player in the Premier League this season (27), while also creating the most chances overall (51) and in open play (46), and he has completed the most passes in the final third (459). He’s also top in the Premier League among all players for defensive line-breaking passes (41).
Bruno Fernandes has assisted Casemiro six times in the Premier League this season – the joint-most by a Manchester United player to a single teammate in a campaign in the competition, equalling Fernandes to Marcus Rashford in 2022-23.
