The FA Community Shield is just hours away now, and TheFA.com is the place for all the build up to the curtain raiser between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Over the next few days we will be bringing you exclusive video previews for the big game at the Millenium stadium, and we start with the highlights from last season's Shield which Chelsea fans will remember fondly.

With Didier Drogba the star, Chelsea defeated their London rivals Arsenal 2-1 and demonstrated their determination to remain at the top of English football.

Drogba was the hero with a goal in each half, but there were impressive performances from all the players in Blue shirts.

The Blues took the lead after just eight minutes when Drogba powered past Phillipe Senderos and lifted a left-footed effort past the helpless Jens Lehmann in the Arsenal goal.

New signing Alexander Hleb's introduction at half-time, along with Robin van Persie and Gilberto, provided Arsenal with fresh impetus but they failed to take advantage and fell further behind on 57 minutes.

Gudjohnsen's flicked header released Drogba through on goal and he again held off the challenge of Senderos and bore down on Lehmann.

The German keeper forced him wide and Lauren's arrival seemed sure to finally end the danger, but the Chelsea striker proved his stregth by retaining possession and firing into the net on the turn.

It looked to be game over, but Arsenal did hit back within eight minutes as Cesc Fabregas slotted the ball home from six yards.

Fredrik Ljungberg did all the hard work down the right and when his cross evaded the Chelsea defenders in the box, Fabregas was left with the simple task of converting.

Arsenal poured forward looking for an equaliser which gave Chelsea some good chances on the counter-attack, but there were no more goals as the Blues held on to lift the first trophy of the new season.
