After a contrasting first round, Chelsea tackles the rest of this club World Cup with ambition. The London club is in the most clear part of the table – at least on paper. A posture that could allow blues to rise to the final if they manage to enforce their standing.
It starts with this quarter -final against Palmeiras, on the night of Friday to Saturday (kick -off at 3 am). If Palmeiras is not the most impressive Brazilian training since the start of the tournament, the SĆ£o Paulo club has the assets to hinder Chelsea in this match. Cole Palmer and his teammates will not have to underestimate their opponent.
The expected compos
Palmeiras: Weverton – Glay, Gomez, Murilo, Piquez – Rios, Veiga, Lucas – Estevao, Lopez, Torres.
Chelsea: Sanchez – Gusto, Colwill, Badiashile, Cucurella – Lavia, James – Neto, E. Fernandez, Palmer – Jackson.
