Per Mertesacker hoping for Wembley magic again as Arsenal take on Chelsea

Per Mertesacker says that Arsenal can beat Chelsea in the Community Shield to maintain their impressive record at Wembley.

Per Mertesacker has claimed that Arsenal can maintain their stellar recent record at Wembley by beating Chelsea in Sunday's Community Shield.

The Gunners, who clinched back-to-back FA Cup titles in May, have graced the famous stadium on five occasions since April 2013 and won on all of them.

Arsene Wenger's side thumped then-Premier League champions Manchester City 3-0 12 months ago to raise the curtain for the 2014-15 campaign.

In 2014, they recovered from a 2-0 deficit to beat Hull City in the FA Cup final, and Mertesacker hopes that Arsenal can thrive on the big stage yet again by making it six wins in a row.

"When we've headed to Wembley in the past, it's generally either been for a semi-final or a final," he told the club's official website.

"There's always been that special tension and we could always handle that pressure. Even at 2-0 down, we always managed to deal with different situations."

The last time Wenger's men faced Chelsea at Wembley was an FA Cup semi-final in 2009, which saw the Blues - who went on to win the trophy - triumph 2-1.
