CARLO Ancelotti today confirmed his starting XI for Sunday's Community Shield would contain only one change from the side that lost their final pre-season friendly at Hamburg.
Hilario will start in goal, with the same outfield players from Wednesday night's game taking to the field against Manchester United at Wembley.
Blues boss Ancelotti revealed Didier Drogba would be on the bench, while number one Petr Cech, defender Alex (both calf) and full-back Jose Boswinga (knee) are all out.
Provisional squad: Hilario, Turnbull, A Cole, Kalou, Drogba, Carvalho, Terry, Malouda, Lampard, Essien, Mikel, Benayoun, Anelka, Zhirkov, Kakuta, Sturridge, Ferreira, Bruma, Ivanovic.
