Chelsea vs Manchester United...

Well, there should be a lot of money riding on this game. I mean, the top 2 favorites to win the English Premiership facing each other for the first chance at silverware this season. These 2 teams obviously have their history together. A lot of the press says this is Man U's chance at revenge for losing the FA Cup to Chelsea... are they forgetting that Chelsea probably has some sort of revenge in their minds considering the fact that they lost last seasons Premiership title to Man U???? Personally I don't think revenge is really big on these teams minds, no matter what they are always going to be extremely competitive against each other. But I think Chelsea has the edge on Man U. Manchester United showed some sloppy defending in their recent friendly against Inter Milan, and Sir Alex Ferguson even stated it in his last press meeting. I was a little worried that they would be starting Nani as well, I think he's pretty dangerous, but according to teamtalk.com, their new faces are very very unlikely to start for this game. Teamtalk also states their past history. Since 2000, Manchester United has won 3 games out of 18, Chelsea winning 7 of those. Chelsea just does well with Manchester United. And with the way Drogba has been playing in his recent friendlies, he is going to show some punishment along with the rest up front. This is also the first community shield at the new Wembley since 7 years ago. And what was the game played 7 years ago??? You guessed it, Chelsea vs Man U.. Chelsea winning 2-0 (along with a red card for Man U)... I think that Chelsea is going to be the better team this coming Sunday, and I think that they are going to just improve that solid record of theirs against Man U.. I'm sticking to Chelsea on this one..

I was going to take Chelsea. However, it concerns me that they have a ton of players that are not fit.
