A little late in posting this and no time to write a preview as I am heading off to work.

 
Well I have no idea what the team will be - if we will sub off half the team at half time - or what will happen. But am looking forward to it!

 
According to this afternoon's press conference same team as Hamburg with Hilario in goal

 
So -

-------------------Hilario

Ferreira---Ivan--------JT------A Cole

------------------Mikel

--------Essien----------Lampard

Kalou---------Anelka--------Malouda

Glad to see Hilario got the nod over Turnbull. I can see the right back position being a problem for us in this Community Shield as in last year's, however. Looking forward to Bosingwa's return.

Hopefully he will be ready to be in our squad next week ::ChELSeAFaN::

Take it easy with Bosi, he comes back from a long term injury and what matters most now is that he fully recovers well and doesnt have any set back

so looking forward to this game

after the miserableness of the world cup, and only watching the pre-season friendlies on streams

cant wait get on the train to london sunday morning, and go watch the lads at wembley again

hopefully we will turn on the style and give the mancs a good battering

some may say its only a glorified friendly, but theres no such thing as a friendly against the mancs. we should beat em and beat em good

give us a good mental edge put one over fergie the haggis muncher early on

 
Not very confident on this one, still just a glorified pre-season friendly which we won last year but yeah I don't know I've just got this feeling in my gut that it could go tits up.

Im hoping we will be on top after this one and hopefully after a 3-0 trashing. Winning this one could boost our confident ahead of the premier league season!

 
Our pre-season games did not instil much confidence.

However, I believe the week-end game against Man U will be a good indicator of how our training progressed.

I'm not reading too much into the Charity Shield as it's a poor indicator of the upcoming season.

Hopefully some of our youngsters will get playing time.

I hope we avoid serious injuries.

Looking forward to going into the new season.

I think the winner of the Shield has won the league each of the last three years. Coincidence?

Of course.

 
From what I've heard we'll see, apart from Drogba, Cech, Alex and Bosingwa on the bench on sunday. If so, then I guess they are all fit to play and that would be brilliant news.

Not a great deal of form going into this one from us. But United have injury problems as well, so I think we are still favourites though it will be close either way.

I know people think this is just a glorified friendly, but I think it is really important psychologically for us to get a win here. We've let a few blokes go and there is a bit of a new feel to the squad, so winning this fixture after losing our other pre-season matches would be a great boost to the morale of the team going into the first match of the new season against WBA.

 
Everytime we have started the season with a community shield win, we have gone on to win the league that season (2005, 2009).
