FA Community Shield: 3 reasons why Chelsea will beat Manchester City

#2 Formidable defense

Can the Chelsea defence hold their ground?

The presence of Azpillicueta, Cahill, Rudiger, and Luiz at the back makes Chelsea's defence probably the best in England. They are experienced, ruff and no-nonsense defenders who are capable of battling with the best strikers of the Premier League.

The young Christensen had performed quite well for Chelsea last season and is a danger to the opposition from set pieces. Chelsea's defence without the presence of Kante, who is their key interceptor, are resilient as they have shown in the past.

Hence, due to the strong Chelsea defense and presence of Kante, Manchester City will find it difficult to penetrate Chelsea in spite of having key playmakers such as Sane and David Silva in their starting lineup.
