Football fans will finally get the chance to see some top-flight action later as Chelsea take on Brighton at the Amex in a friendly.

Meanwhile, Chelsea striker Fran Kirby says today's Women's Community Shield will be more competitive than any other pre-season fixture.

The club face Manchester City at Wembley this lunchtime.

Chelsea replaced City at the top of last season's WSL when the campaign was cut short and decided on a points-per-game basis due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Kirby tells us she expects City to have extra motivation.
