Premier League champions Chelsea will collide FA Cup champions Arsenal in the Community Shield contest this weekend.
The Gunners dominated and defeated Manchester City in last year’s game, can they beat Jose Mourinho’s men? We shall see.
As far as Chelsea’s team news is concerned, Diego Costa limped off against Barcelona with another hamstring injury that will keep him out of Sunday’s fixture. Whether or not he will return in time for the start of Premier League, only time will tell.
Expect summer signing Radamel Falcao to start as the lone striker upfront. As per the provided Physioroom report, Gary Chill has a broken nose concern but he can wear a mask and feature against Arsenal. However, Jose may look to rest the England international and start French starl Kurt Zouma.
Other than the mentioned duo, there are no injury concerns and Mourinho must pick a strong starting XI to prepare the team for the PL opener.
Here is Chelsea’s probable XI vs Arsenal.
