[quote]BIG-MATCH FACTS
CHELSEA and Liverpool take centre stage at the Millennium Stadium for the 2006 Community Shield. Originally contested as a fixture between amateurs and professionals in 1908, the FA Charity Shield (as it was previously known) became the season's traditional pipe opener between the League champions and the FA Cup winners. But with several European matches already played this season and the domestic programme well underway, this 84th contest for the Shield can hardly be termed as a seasonal curtain-raiser.
Jose Mourinho's double Premiership champions face the Merseysiders for the first time since seeing their dreams of a domestic double shattered by Rafa Benitez' side in the FA Cup semi-final at Old Trafford in April. These sides, under their current managers, have clashed no fewer than 10 times in the last two seasons and controversy was never far away. Chelsea won all four Premiership contests and the 2004/05 Carling Cup final, but Liverpool gained the most prized victory in knocking the Londoners out of the Champions League on their way to lifting the trophy, in the season before last.
Two Didier Drogba goals proved sufficient for the Blues to win last season's Community Shield, 2-1 against Arsenal. They then went on to successfully defend the Premiership title. It was only the third time in 16 years that a club had won the Shield and the League title in the same season.
LIVERPOOL have an early opportunity to assess their title credentials against the reigning champions of England. Benitez believes he has a stronger squad this term, and as such it will be a fascinating contest, as the FA Cup winners return to the scene of their triumph over West Ham in May. A six-goal thriller was decided on penalties. Skipper Steven Gerrard fittingly lifted the silverware, for it was his stunning last-minute strike that forced extra-time and kept the Reds in the contest.
The Merseysiders are not short on experience as far as this early season feature is concerned. This will be their 21st appearance in the Charity/Community Shield. Only Manchester United have figured more often (23 times). Liverpool have won it in regular play on eight occasions. They also claimed it once after a penalty shoot-out, and shared the trophy five times when the contest was declared a draw. Chelsea are making only their sixth appearance and seeking a fourth victory.
Martin Atkinson has been selected to referee this match. The 35 year old from Yorkshire showed just one red card in 18 Premiership matches last season (Darren Moore, West Brom). He did not officiate any of Chelsea's League games, and controlled just two of Liverpool's - the 2-0 defeat at Fulham and the goalless home draw with Charlton. [/quote]
