Chelsea v Manchester City: Jorginho and Mahrez start Community Shield

Major summer signings Jorginho and Riyad Mahrez were named in the starting line-ups for the Community Shield clash between Chelsea and Manchester City at Wembley.

Mahrez became City's record signing following his £60million arrival from Leicester City but the Premier League champions also engaged in a lengthy pursuit of Jorginho.

The Italy midfielder opted for a swift reunion with former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge, however, leaving the Serie A club in a £57million deal.

Usual understudies Claudio Bravo and Willy Caballero are in goal for their respective sides, with Blues number one Thibaut Courtois absent as expected as rumours persist over a possible switch to Real Madrid.
