Super Eagles winger
Victor Moses is on the verge of adding Community Shield title to his collections
as Chelsea file out against Manchester City at the wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Moses has premier league, FA Cup and Europa titles in the kitty and victory at
the Wembley on Sunday will be another feather
The former Wigan
Athletic ace who converted a penalty for the Super Eagles at the World cup in
Russia is being tipped to lift the Blues even as new coach Maurizio Sarri is
hoping to win a title even before his first season at the Stamford Bridge.
The Italian took over
from compatriot Antonio Conte last month after nearly wrestling the Serie A
title from Juventus with old club Napoli last season.
He could become the
first Premier League manager since David Moyes in 2013 in the same competition
to win a trophy in his first game.
Sarri said: "First
of all I'm looking forward to playing at Wembley, because it's my first time.
The match will be very difficult for us.
"I want to win,
because it's very important to have a trophy immediately.
City manager Pep
Guardiola is looking forward to starting a new rivalry with Sarri, and says his
style will adapt quickly
to the Premier League -
having himself struggled with implementing his own style of play before City
cruised to the title last season.
Chelsea are looking to
win the Community Shield for the first time since 2009, when they beat
Manchester United 4-1 on penalties. They've failed to win any of their last
four appearances in the Community Shield.
Manchester City on the
other hand last lifted the Community Shield in 2012, interestingly defeating
Chelsea 3-2 in a fixture that was played at Villa Park.
This will be the third
meeting between Chelsea and Manchester City at Wembley, with City winning the
most recent one in April 2013 (2-1 in the FA Cup semi-final).
Chelsea have lost each
of their last two games against Manchester City - they haven't lost three in
succession against them since September 2010.
