Maurizio Sarri's first competitive game with the Blues will be against Man City in the Community Shield, which could lead to a debut for Riyad Mahrez
FA Cup winners Chelsea and Premier League champions Manchester City will go head-to-head with each other at Wembley when they meet in this year's Community Shield.
New Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is set to make his competitive debut when his side face the English champions, while Pep Guardiola will be looking to use the momentum from last season's title win to push forward into the new campaign.
Both sides have wrapped their pre-season participation in the International Champions Cup (ICC) and Sunday's fixture comes with the added drama of seeing Jorginho play for the Blues – as the Italian international seemed to have been on the verge of signing for City this summer, only to be recruited by his former Napoli boss.
