Manchester City v Chelsea betting tips - City favourites to win Community Shield

Manchester City are strong favourites to win the Community Shield when they take on Chelsea in the season’s traditional curtain-raiser.

Roberto Mancini’s side will be looking to make amends for last season’s Community Shield loss to Manchester United, when an injury-time Nani strike sealed a 3-2 victory for The Red Devils. Bet365 offer odds of 4/6 that they lift the season’s first piece of silverware.

Chelsea will of course be without their Champions League final hero Didier Dorgba, the Ivorian regularly producing the goods for the Blues on the Wembley stage. Instead the focus will be on Euro 2012 golden boot winner Fernando Torres and new signings Eden Hazard and Marko Marin. Roberto di Matteo’s side can be backed at odds of 11/10 to lift the trophy.

Chelsea’s pre-season preparations haven’t exactly gone to plan to this point with defeats to MLS All-Stars and AC Milan preceded by a draw with Paris Saint-Germain. City, conversely, are unbeaten in matches against Arsenal, Besiktas and a Malaysia XI, meaning it is The Citizens that punters are backing at odds of 13/10 to win the tie inside the original 90 minutes.

  • Back Rickie Lambert to add to tally in Southampton FC finale

    Rickie Lambert can cap off a memorable season by scoring in Southampton’s clash with Stoke City on Sunday.

    Relegated Reading’s Premier League adventure comes to an end on Sunday, and West Ham United will ensure they sign-off with another defeat.

  • Back Liverpool FC to win to nil against relegated Queens Park Rangers FC

    Liverpool complete their campaign with a home game against already-relegated QPR on Sunday, and Brendan Rodgers’ Reds will sign-off with a win.
