 | MATCH OF THE DAY Chelsea v Liverpool (highlights)
Sun 13 Aug, 1745, BBC ONE |
Highlights from the Millennium Stadium as Premiership champions Chelsea take on FA Cup winners Liverpool in the Community Shield (Sunday 13 August, 1745 BST on BBC ONE). These sides have met 10 times in the last two seasons, with Liverpool winning just two encounters.
Liverpool finished nine points behind Chelsea in third and will be hoping to use the season's traditional curtain raiser to send a message to the Blues that they will be pushed far harder for the title this time round.
Rafa Benitez has strengthened his side with the signings of Craig Bellamy, Jermaine Pennant and Gabriel Paletta.
Despite finishing eight points clear of their nearest rivals, Chelsea have added Andriy Shevchenko, Salomon Kalou, Michael Ballack and John Obi Mikel to their squad as they chase a third consecutive title.
