Meanwhile, Chelsea (44) stuck in fifth place, wasting an opportunity to overtake West Ham United (43) who lost the day before.

Although match statistics show Chelsea fired 18 attempted shots and MU 11 times, this match was monotonous.

Olivier Giroud wasted a good chance obtained in the 31st minute when goalkeeper David de Gea made a mistake in passing, but instead of scoring, he sent the ball into the stands which was deserted without spectators.

Class is permanent 🇪🇸

Three minutes into the second half Chelsea threaten again with Hakim Ziyech's first-touch shot to catch Ben Chilwell's lure, but De Gea heads the ball.

Since then not many meaningful opportunities have been created until time has passed and the whistle to mark the match was over sounded without any change on the scoreboard.

Chelsea will next travel to Liverpool headquarters on Thursday this week the day after United visit Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace.

The spoils are shared at Stamford Bridge.
