Highlights of the season's traditional curtain-raiser at Wembley Stadium, which sees Premier League champions Chelsea take on FA Cup winners Arsenal. The match will be the first between the clubs since long-serving Blues goalkeeper Petr Cech was allowed to move across the capital to join the Gunners, although it remains to be seen whether the 33-year-old makes his debut against his former employers. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may see this match as an opportunity to rid himself of an unwanted statistic - he is winless in 13 matches against Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. Wenger's men have failed to score a single goal in their last five games against the Blues, but they will have fond memories of their last trip to Wembley in May, when they thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 to win the FA Cup. | ||
