Hello good afternoon and welcome. Who is starving for some quality football action? Well, I bet most of us are. After the World Cup, football fans across the globe have been waiting for the European Leagues to commence and yes, it is about time.

The annual curtain-raiser for the Premier League is upon us as FA Cup winners Chelsea and champions Manchester City meet at Wembley in the Community Shield.

It is a contest that seldom reflects how the upcoming season will pan out; you have to go back to 2010 for the last time its victors went onto win the title.

Regardless, the Community Shield takes on an extra edge as this year’s instalment marking the official unveiling of new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri.

Pep Guardiola versus the former Napoli boss promises to be one of the most compelling duels of the 2018-19 season.

Their first meeting also has the potential involvement of Jorginho as an added subplot. The Italy international appeared on the brink of becoming City’s first summer recruit not too long ago, only to eventually follow his former Napoli boss to Stamford Bridge.

Stay with us for all the updates. Kick-off is at 2:00pm GMT.
