Fifteen months on from their epic UEFA Champions League final, FC Bayern München and Chelsea FC meet at Prague's Stadion Eden in the UEFA Super Cup.

• Chelsea stunned Bayern with a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory in the German club's own stadium last May, Didier Drogba – who had cancelled out Thomas Müller's 83rd-minute opener – converting the winning spot kick to take the European Cup to Stamford Bridge for the first time.

• Bayern came back to become only the second club – after AC Milan (1993, 1994) – to win the European Cup 12 months after losing in the final. Goals from Mario Mandžukić (60) and Arjen Robben (89) earned a fifth triumph as a thrilling final against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley ended 2-1.

• Chelsea also left it late, Branislav Ivanović's towering header three minutes into added time settling the UEFA Europa League final against SL Benfica at the Amsterdam ArenA. The Blues became only the third club – after Juventus, AFC Ajax and Bayern – to win all three major European club competitions.

• Both clubs have suffered UEFA Super Cup disappointment; Chelsea, winners in 1998, were overrun by Club Atlético de Madrid in Monaco 12 months ago while Bayern lost in 1975 (v FC Dynamo Kyiv), 1976 (RSC Anderlecht) and 2001 (Liverpool FC). No other team has finished runners-up three times without winning the trophy.

• The match provides a sub-plot in the teams' new coaches; Bayern's Josep Guardiola and José Mourinho of Chelsea know each other well from their time in charge of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF respectively.

Previous meetings
• In the 2012 UEFA Champions League final, Müller's late header had seemingly given Jupp Heynckes' Bayern victory, but five minutes later Drogba headed an equaliser for a Chelsea team managed by Roberto Di Matteo. Former Blues winger Robben had an extra-time penalty saved by Petr Čech and there was more spot-kick misery for Bayern in the shoot-out, despite Juan Mata's miss; Čech saved from Ivica Olić and Bastian Schweinsteiger, leaving Drogba to convert the decisive kick and give Chelsea http://www.uefa.com/uefasupercup/season=2013/matches/round=2000456/match=2012139/prematch/background/index.htmla 4-3 penalty triumph.

Even though we know who the winner will be at the end of the day, i think it's going to be a delightful match to watch. At least Bayern will have an opportunity to test some of their reserve players and get them ready for the Bundesliga.

sad... will be in transit.. will miss it

Modified: Yeay....seems I will make it afterall

Dis space ws booked by johnstar on d 27th of august|| so ah don show #teamChelsea all d way ...... Ma eat my night food b4 7pm knack

Chelsea all the way....Victory is Ours!!!!!!!!!

Mikel and Ramirez have to form the midfield tomorrow, in order to fortify Chelsea's defensive set up; while Lukaku has to be the lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Bayern will humiliate Chelsea the same way they suffered in the hands of Falcao .

What time is it?

I just pity Chelsea.......

the sky remains blue, cnt wait to see it.

As a united fan, i don't care who wins but if Chelsea does, it's good for our league but their big mouthed fans won't allow me rest

The history will repeat itsef,Nothing like Revenge Chelsea all the way...Like if your blood is blue

In d book of hazard vs oscar chapter lukaku-o thou bayern u're condemned to 4-0 defeat.........

Chelsea without Drogba= EUROPA League. Remember most of Bayern squad is still intact, while Chelsea are tying to build new team.

juat expect Cfc to frustrate Bayern for @least till half tym...bt i dnt tink dey will stop bayern frm scoring....cfc lb nd Rb will suffer d most.....expect a defensive game frm Cfc ,bt back Bayern to win wit a little margin

It is glaring Mikel is still very vital and relevant to Chelsea most especially in the midfield. For Chelsea to win, Mikel's immense contribution would be needed. I am a Barca fan and I remembered when Chelsea dumped Barca out of Champions league Semi-finals en route to winning the prestigious title, it was same Mikel that tamed Xavi and Iniesta and providing a good cover for the back four.
