Chelsea and Manchester United renew acquaintance in Sunday's Community Shield season opener with one team worried about its form and another concerned by injuries.
Premier League and FA Cup champion Chelsea has lost three straight friendlies while United is without midfielder Michael Carrick because of an ankle injury.
And United striker Michael Owen is worried about the effect the Wembley turf will have on his hamstrings.
Owen is finally fit after rupturing a hamstring at Wembley in February and is wondering whether a re-laid surface containing synthetic fibers will lessen the impact the often uneven field has on players.
Owen says "hopefully it makes it a lot better because I wasn't the only injury to come out of that game."
