Chelsea supporters wasted no time in mocking Manchester United's current situation at Old Trafford. Around half an hour into the clash in Manchester, the visiting fans could be heard signing a brilliant chant from the away end.
"Just like London, your city is blue!" - the Chelsea fans chanted towards the home supporters after dominating the opening exchanges in Manchester. Of course, with the dominant Manchester City, that city is certainly blue right now. And who could argue about Chelsea being the dominant club in London right now?
The Blues of course won the UEFA Champions League last season and are currently higher than any of their London rivals in the Premier League. Chelsea fans, unsurprisingly, didn't hear much back from the United supporters.

Chelsea were well on top for the first-half without really breaking into second gear. Gary Neville, who was on co-commentary duty for Sky Sports, was hugely critical of Man United for their lack of effort.
"He must be absolutely furious, Ralf Rangnick, with what he is watching, or what he's not watching. 0-0 should not con us, it is a disgrace," Neville said around 40 minutes into the clash.
Chelsea had two golden opportunities in the first-half to take the lead, with both coming from the man you'd want the ball to fall to - Kai Havertz. The German found himself one-on-one with David de Gea after a fine pass from N'Golo Kante, but the attacker was denied by the United goalkeeper.
Havertz had a chance to make amends not too long after, after being found completely free from a cross. However, the former Bayer Leverkusen man headed the ball straight into the hands of De Ge, with the teams going into the break with the scoreline level.
