Brighton boss Gus Poyet believes Chelsea will iron out the kinks by the time the Community Shield against Manchester City comes around.

Poyet, believes the confrontation with City will galvanise Chelsea's players.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they come out in the Charity Shield and are unbelievable, because I know how those players are," said the Brighton manager.

"They will give something extra. For us this was the biggest game ever. For them it was just an extra game, so it is not the same. I'm sure they will get there. I can see what Roberto means [that Chelsea were short of intensity] but I think they will get it back because they are world-class players, and as soon as they are playing for something, it is going to different for sure."
