Chelsea vs Man City probable lineups – Gundogan available for selection

Premier League holders Manchester City take on FA Cup winners Chelsea in the Community shield final today.

The clash takes place at Wembley while kick-off is scheduled for 15:00 (GMT).

Star playmaker Ilkay Gundogan is available for selection today despite picking up a facial injury during pre-season.

The 27-year-old featured for Germany during the 2018 World Cup cup but was unable to avert their early exit from the competition.

Gundogan missed Man City’s pre-season tour of the USA but has returned to training in time to be fit for the beginning of the 2018/19 season.

Summer signing Riyad Mahrez could feature against Chelsea today while Benjamin Mendy could make his first competitive appearance since September.

Meanwhile, newly appointed manager Maurizio Sarri will lead Chelsea out in his first competitive game in charge of the Blues.
