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 São 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.
