Citizens evens for more trophies than Chelsea

CHELSEA won more trophies than Manchester City last season but bet365 are expecting the roles to be reversed as the duo prepare to kick off the new top-flight campaign with the traditional curtain-raising Community Shield.

City are evens to take more silverware than Chelsea in a market which only counts the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and Europa League with the Blues at 3-1 and the tie is 2-1.

City will be without Gareth Barry and Micah Richards for the Villa Park clash, while Roberto Mancini has suggested David Silva and Mario Balotelli will only be fit enough for the bench. Chelsea are missing new signing Marko Marin because of injury and Oscar is also unavailable.
