Chelsea won the Premier League title with a comfortable margin last season while Arsenal successfully defended their FA Cup crown.
The two teams will collide today in the Community Shield contest. Who will come out on top? We shall see.
As far as the team news is concerned, Chelsea have two major injury issues. Spanish star striker Diego Costa suffered a hamstring problem against Barcelona and is not in the starting XI. Cahill had broken nose but he is in the starting XI.
Summer loan signing from AS Monaco Radamel Falcao is on the bench as Remy is leading the line in the absence of Costa.
Jose Mourinho has a habit of winning against Arsene Wenger and based on record, Blues must be considered favorites to win today.
Not to forget, Arsenal won the Community Shield fixture last season by comprehensively beating then Premier League champions Manchester City. The Gunners have what it takes to upset the Blues today.
Here is Chelsea’s confirmed starting XI formation vs Arsenal.
