Match of the Day: Community Shield

Series 1, episode 0

Ray Stubbs is joined by Marcel Desailly and Lee Dixon for highlights of today's FA Community Shield between Chelsea and Manchester United at Wembley Stadium. Several new signings are likely to be on show as the two giants of the English game resume their rivalry. England midfielder Owen Hargreaves is expected to line up for United while France's Florent Malouda will hope to make a big impression for Chelsea alongside former Reading star Steve Sidwell. Sir Alex Ferguson's United side won the Premier League in thrilling fashion last season and in doing so ended Chelsea's pursuit of a third successive League title. But Jose Mourinho's side were domestic cup kings in 2006/07, winning the League Cup and beating United in the FA Cup final courtesy of an extra-time winner from Didier Drogba. Today both sides will be determined to secure victory and put down a psychological marker ahead of the new season. Commentary comes from Jonathan Pearce and Mark Bright.
