FA Community Shield is the opening tournament in English Football calendar. FA Community Shield will take place on 5 August 2007 at the famous Wembley stadium. This time, Manchester United is going to play against Chelsea. You already know that Manchester United was the champion of English Premier League in 2006-07 season while Chelsea won the FA Cup trophy. The match is going to create a lot of enthusiasm among the fans of these two clubs. These fans are now just limited to England but they are spread across the globe. The fans would love to see their own respective club becomes supreme. FA Community Shield is like the super come in some countries and this trophy will be in indication of club supremacy in English football. This match is coming ahead of just one week of the start of EPL 2007-08.

Chelsea: Injury Worry and Others

This will be the third consecutive appearance for Chelsea in FA Community Shield. Last year, Chelsea lost Liverpool. However, Chelsea won the trophy of FA Community Shield 2005 by defeating Arsenal by 2-1. Chelsea is in great touch for the last few years in English football. Sometimes, money can buy success and Chelsea is perhaps the best proof of this matter. This time, Chelsea boss wants to win the match but his club is facing a lot of injuries. Because of injury problem, he will not have some of his best player to play for Chelsea in Community Shield 2007. There was even rumor of Frank Lampard suffering from injury. Fortunately, he is ok and he will play in the match.

There is another worry for Chelsea and that is their recent performance. In the last few days, Chelsea could not perform that well in some of the pre season practice matches. You know that Chelsea went to USA. Their USA trip created a lot of media buzz but their performance was not so high in the US. Even in Europe, Chelsea did not attract the imagination of the fans that much recently.

The Cole Factor?

Ashley Cole is undoubtedly one of the top defenders in Premier League at the moment. However, he has been suffering from injury for sometime. Cole wants to make Community Shield 2007 final as a comeback match and he is hungry for some good football action. If he plays then he can be a formidable opposition to Manchester United on this Sunday. I just hope that Frank Lampard can really play in this match. His presence will be vital just as Cole.

Manchester United: lack of Form

On the other hand, Manchester United not free from injury worry either. They will miss a number of good players too but not so much like Chelsea. So, they will have a slight edge over Chelsea in this matter. Alex Ferguson will not have Gary Neville, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the match. These three players are suffering from injuries.

However, when it comes to recent performance, Manchester United does not have much better track record than Chelsea. For example, Manchester United just suffered an embarrassing defeat against Internazionale in a 3-2 at home. So, the players are not in very confident mood. However, Alex Ferguson feels that his team has enough talents to bounce back and defeat Chelsea.

The main worry for Manchester United will be their defense. The defenders look a bit shaky at this moment. They have less worry with their midfield and strikers. On the other hand, Ashley Cole is expected to play in this match for Chelsea and this should give Chelsea a lot of boost. On the other hand, injury worry will surely make Chelsea suffer a bit in the midfield.

Ronaldo magic?

No, I am not talking about Brazilian Ronaldo. I am talking of Cristiano Ronaldo. He was the best player in Premier League last season and he had significant contribution behind Manchester United becoming champion. This season, he is hungry for success and he wants to impress everyone in the Community Shield Final 2007.
