Community Shield: Pressure On Di Matteo Already
Manchester City are the 4/6 favourites to lift the Community Shield on Sunday with William Hill also making the League Champions 2/5 to finish higher than Chelsea in the League this season. Roberto Di Matteo worked wonders towards the end of last season, however with a Pep Guardiola shaped shadow hanging over him, Hills offer 11/10 that he has left Stamford Bridge by the end of the season and the former Barca boss is 14/1 to be sat on the bench for Chelseas final game of the season.
The Community Shield enables sides to get one over on their prospective title rivals but we think that if Chelsea lose this one, the pressure could be on Di Matteo already, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Formerly known as the Charity Shield, Hills offer 7/2 that there is no charity and that a red card is shown during the match.
