Sunday cover: Petr Cech can handle it as Arsenal goalkeeper faces old club Chelsea



Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech adorns The National Sport front page on Sunday, August 2 as he prepares to face his old club Chelsea for the first time in the FA Community Shield.

FA Cup winners Arsenal take on Premier League champions Chelsea at Wembley on Sunday, and the occasion will mark Cech’s first game at the showpiece stadium not in Chelsea colours.

Cech had spent 11 years at Chelsea, winning 13 major trophies, but was dislodged as first choice goalkeeper last season by Thibaut Courtois.

Cech's move to Arsenal somewhat goes against Arsene Wenger's usual transfer policy, although Richard Jolly explains why the Czech Republic international is exactly the player to help Arsenal fight for major honours.
