Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Community Shield match between Chelsea and Manchester City. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at Wembley. Kick off is at 3pm.

So here we go. The traditional curtain raiser of the English football season is under way. We'll find out a lot about both these sides this afternoon. This should be a good one.

The match is under way at Wembley! It's Chelsea against Manchester City in the Community Shield!

The Community Shield is often maligned, but there's a lot to look forward to here. Chelsea and City have picked strong teams and will be looking to make an early impression in the season.

Both managers have picked a strong team for this Community Shield game. Hudson-Odoi has been selected by Sarri after what has been an impressive pre-season from the youngster.

Man City set new records in the Premier League last season. Can they match that level again this season? Or will their focus be more on the Champions League? That's the primary objective for Guardiola, after all.

This will be the first real sign of how Chelsea will fare under new manager Sarri. They took longer than expected to install the former Napoli boss, but now he is charged with sparking a revolution.

Both these sides have had their transfer struggles this season. In fact, City's primary struggle was in failing to sign Jorginho, who ultimately decided to join Sarri at Chelsea instead.
