Chelsea take on Manchester City in the traditional curtain-raiser that is the Community Shield on Sunday afternoon. City stormed to a record-breaking Premier League triumph last season, while Chelsea beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been all change at Chelsea since though, as Antonio Conte has been replaced by Maurizio Sarri as manager, who\u2019s taken Jorginho with him from Napoli. It\u2019s been a tumultuous summer for the Blues, with still no clarity on the futures of star trio Thibaut Courtois, Eden Hazard or Willian, while they\u2019ve been slow to acquire their targets, with just Jorginho and Rob Green arriving at the club. There have been rumours of a change in ownership and it could be a long season if things don\u2019t go well.<\/p>\n

As for City, they\u2019re fresh off a title triumph and they\u2019ll be raring to go again. Retaining their title will prove to be a tough challenge as it\u2019s been almost a decade since Manchester United retained theirs under Sir Alex Ferguson. City dominated Chelsea in both meetings last season, but winning 1-0 on both occasions.<\/p>\n

Chelsea vs. Manchester City Predictions<\/h2>\n

The Community Shield is always a tough game to predict, but I can see Chelsea winning this one. They\u2019ll be a lot fresher than City, will have a stronger squad to choose from as they had fewer players participating in Russia. It\u2019ll be tough, but it\u2019s a lottery to predict and I can see Chelsea coming out on top. There\u2019ll be plenty of goals in it.<\/p>\n
