Chelsea will be looking to avenge the FA cup loss last
season as they prepare to encounter the gunners at the webley stadium, beytown
look to have your prediction power. It's the season's traditional 'curtain
raiser' as Premier League champions Chelsea face FA Cup winners Arsenal in the
Community Shield at Wembley. The game is on Sunday afternoon, before the final
of the Women's European Championships.
Arsenal
Arsene Wenger is close to having a full compliment to choose
from at Wembley, but doubts remain over Alexis Sanchez and Shkodran Mustafi
after their Confederations Cup exertions. Wenger said Sanchez looked like he
had never been away in his first few training sessions back in London, but he
will be assessed ahead of Sunday's game. Francis Coquelin is a definite
absentee after an ankle ligament injury, but Aaron Ramsey is expected to
recover from a slight muscular scare to partner Granit Xhaka in central
midfield. New signings Alexandre Lacazette and Sead Kolasinac are expected to
feature prominently.
Chelsea
Last season's star players Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are
unavailable, with the Belgian playmaker recovering from a broken ankle and
Costa exiled from the squad by Antonio Conte. Pedro is also a doubt meaning
summer signing Alvaro Morata might start in a more withdrawn role behind Michy
Batshuayi.
