Chelsea v Arsenal : Sunday 7th August

VC Bet make Chelsea a 6/5 chance to beat Arsenal in Sunday's Community Shield at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. Jose Mourinho's squad is stronger than ever with the summer capture of Shaun Wright-Phillips but you can be certain their fierce London rivals will be eager not to concede any psychological ground ahead of the forthcoming Premiership season. The Gunners are 15/8 to win the game and despite Chelsea's recent success it's worth remembering that Arsenal have not lost to the west Londoners in their last 18 domestic meetings. But will the departure of Arsenal's inspirational skipper, Patrick Vieira, who recently left for Juventus be their undoing? "I don't think Arsenal will miss Vieira as much as many people think," said VC Bet's Nick Blezard. "Arsenal have definitely had the best of him and it will give their exciting young midfielder Cesc Fabregas the stage to show why Arsene Wenger rates him as one of the best midfielders in Europe."
