What At Stake: Both teams have meet a few times in community shield in last few years and Chelsea had the upper hand in those matches. It is very important to start strong in the season and this game provides the best oppertunity for the teams to get their competitive season fixtures underway. Chelsea won last year’s Community shield and will be looking to do it again apart from that, Chelsea completed the double under Carlo Ancoloti and would be very keen to start strongly and put their authority on their title challengers. TSM Predictions: On paper both teams look equal and this match will be very hard fought as teams will be looking to avoid the start of the season with the defeat, So predicting a winner is this one is anybody’s guess but I will start my League preditions from this match. TSM’s PREDICTION: UNITED 2-1 CHELSEA
