On Sunday, 9 August, Manchester United and Chelsea will contest the Community Shield on Wembley. United have won the last two editions, both after a penalty shoot-out.

ManU’s last four Community Shield wins all came after penalty shoot-outs.

According to Infostrada, six times, including the last two years, the Community Shield was decided after a penalty shoot-out, with United winning on the last five occasions.

Chelsea suffered a penalty-shoot-out defeat in their last appearance, in 2007 against Manchester United.
