THE Community Shield is exactly what it is – a pre-season non-event cup game but there’s no doubting the teams playing out the 90 minutes will be taking this seriously.

Tin-pot or not, there’s pre-season bragging rights up for grabs and for that reason it’s worth a punt.

Chelsea have the hoodoo held over them in this game having lost their last 4 Community Shield matches and I can’t help but think prices may be a touch on the generous side for a City win.

WDW has no appeal to me though and instead I reckon the smart money will be on City goals – looks like there will be plenty of chance for new faces to shine but I just cannot see Chelsea being a match forKevin de Bruyne et al’s quality.

Around 65% of the last 9 CS games have seen 3 or more goals and it’s hard to see City not contributing towards that figure here:

    Chelsea v Man City
    For what it’s worth, BTTS seems the more likely call given both sides will be missing a number of important players.

    Afternoon Bob,

    Players missing yes but both sides will still be fielding strong sides – Aguero, Bernardo and Sane up top is enough for me.

    At 8/15 I don’t see any value in btts but best of luck ?

      I think his criticism was a little harsh – he doesn’t like it when someone has a go at him.

      Off out to watch the rest of the game at a Beer Festival. Life is tough sometimes.

    No idea what Bob had to say but glad I didn’t go for the Btts at 8/15!
