Vaishali Bhardwaj4 August 2017

Antonio Conte speaks to the press ahead of Chelsea's Community Shield clash against London rivals Arsenal as the Blues boss is faced with team news questions and more.

Just over two months since the Gunners stunned the Premier League champions with a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Wembley, Conte will be hoping for a different result on Sunday.

The game will hand Chelsea the chance to not only restore some pride, but also get a practice run in ahead of their Premier League opener at home to Burnley next week.

Conte is expected to be asked questions about the fitness of his players and, particularly, his new signings Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Antonio Rudiger and Willy Caballero.

The Italian's chat with the media begins at 1.30pm so follow all the latest from Cobham in Standard Sport's live blog below!
