This weekend the annual Community Shield event will take place at Wembley Stadium and it will be Manchester United and Chelsea competing. Bookmakers have placed their picks for the event and they have chosen Chelsea to win the game.

The event takes place before the start of the top-flight season each year and it features the winning of the FA Cup and the English premier league. The past four years, the Chelsea team has won so I’m sure that is why bookmakers have chosen them to win again this year.

BlueSq, 888 Sport, EuroSportBet and ToteSport have the team at 11/8 odds to win the event while SportingBet has the team at 27/20 odds. PaddyPower, Coral, BoyleSports, Bet365, BetFred and SkyBet has the team at 6/4 odds to win.

The odds for Manchester United to win have been released as well. Betfair has the team at 46/25 and WBX has the team at 91/50 odds. PaddyPower, EuroSportBet and BoyleSports have the team at 9/5 odds. William Hill has the team at 2/1 odds while Bwin has the team at 19/10 odds. It will be interesting to see which team will come out on top.
