The community shield does is a tournament that is held before the tournament starts and it is mere academic value that is in play here. In this contest, there is more at stake with London’s bragging rights also holding plenty of significance. Fans will flock the stadium in numbers, making the cross-town trip to Wembley. In the past, this fixture has gone on to set the tone for the winning team for the Barclays Premier League season. There is no doubt if Arsene Wenger can break his Jose Mourinho duck, the complexion of Arsenal-Chelsea battles will change over the course of next season.

As things stand, Arsene Wenger has not tasted victory in a single game against his Portuguese rival. The last time these two teams met — in Emirates — John Terry and the Blues thwarted attack after attack that Arsenal stitched. The match ended in 0-0 draw. While there were accusations of Chelsea ‘Parking the Bus’, the wily Mourinho knew what he wanted and got the result that they set out for.

Chelsea is the Barclays Premier League champion but Arsenal bridged the gap somewhat during the summer transfer window. Chelsea’s legendary goalkeeper Petr Cech decided to move to Arsenal in search of more gametime. The Stamford Bridge faithful will be a little misty eyed watching their hero between the sticks in an Arsenal jersey. Juan Mata and another club legend Frank Lampard got standing ovations despite going on to play for rival clubs and there will be no reason why Cech should receive a hostile reception from the fans.

Chesea were a mixed bag in the pre-season. They were cut open in their first game but bounced back through wins, albeit through a penalty shootout against Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Arsenal didn’t face any major challenges in the pre-season but snapped up another Emirates trophy at the end of it.

Mourinho has not eased off on the punches against Arsenal during the build-up. He accused the Gunners of going on a spending spree with scant regard for FPP rules, with his trademark cheekiness and hypocrisy on full display. That will take a backseat when the contest begins. As for players jumping ship, Cesc Fabregas gets another crack at his former club.  There is every chance that Jack Wilshire will sit out because after receiving a slight knock. Alexis Sanchez might be rested for the game after his long, victorious Copa America campaign with Chile. Chelsea meanwhile, may have Gary Cahill out of the contest after the English centre-back got a nasty cut on his nose in the game against Barcelona a few days ago.

Predicted Lineups:

Chelsea (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois; Branislav Ivanovic, Kurt Zouma, John Terry, Cesar Azpilicueta; Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabreagas, Oscar; Willian, Eden Hazard, Diego Costa

Arsenal (4-2-3-1) Petr Cech; Hector Bellerin, Laurent Koscielny, Per Metersacker, Nacho Monreal; Francis Coquelin, Santi Cazorla; Alex Oxdale-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott; Olivier Giroud
