Chelsea face Flamengo in their second match of the Club World Cup group stages tonight, with the Blues looking to all but seal a place in the last 16.
Enzo Maresca’s side opened the competition with a 2-0 win over LAFC earlier this week, and a victory tonight would put them top of the group on six points, three ahead of the nearest challenger and with African side ES Tunis to come in their final match.
Fans will be hoping to see more of recent signing Liam Delap as well as Andrey Santos, but they face a potentially difficult test against a Flamengo side who sit top of the Brazilian Serie A with 11 games played.
South American teams have sprung surprises so far during the tournament – none more so than Botafogo’s win over PSG last night – and the Blues will have to be at their best to secure three points in Philadelphia.
