15:20: Hello folks! Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester United vs Chelsea from Old Trafford.
Manchester United are set to debut new signing Harry Maguire against Chelsea, having paid a record £80million for a defender to sign him from Leicester.
United begin life without striker Romelu Lukaku, who departed to join Inter Milan in a deal worth an initial £74million.
Rivals Chelsea will also debut a new face in the shape of manager Frank Lampard, who left his first managerial role at Derby to replace Maurizio Sarri at the club with whom he spent the majority of his footballing career.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fits a similar profile to Lampard, having clocked up 235 appearances for the team he now oversees, adding a fascinating subplot to the season opener.
Solskjaer came out on top in their 11 encounters as players, winning five and drawing three.

Paul Pogba is fit to start for Manchester United having missed the final pre-season game against AC Milan due to a back spasm.
Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James could make their debuts, while 17-year-old Mason Greenwood is set to be named in the squad. Eric Bailly and Tim Fosu-Mensah are both injured, while Alexis Sanchez (hamstring) may not be involved either.
