Chelsea host AC Milan in their final preseason game of the summer squeezing in two games between the FIFA Club World Cup and start of the Premier League.
Expectations are increasing at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain to become world champions. Coupled with a UEFA Conference League trophy and notable signings, the Blues might not be ready yet to challenge Liverpool or Arsenal, but they are not far off the pace and could even surprise this season.
The Blues outplayed Bay Leverkusen last time out thanks in large part to Estêvão’s debut. The Brazilian wonderkid caught eyes from the start and scored the opening goal of the game. While he might not get meaningful minutes on Sunday, the Blues look to have a star on their hands.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are getting used to Massimiliano Allegri as their new coach after yet another changing of the guard following short tenures of Paulo Fonseca and Sérgio Conceição. After losing their preseason opener to Arsenal, Milan turned around and defeated Liverpool and Perth Glory scoring 13 goals across both games.
The Rossoneri drew a preseason game yesterday with a quick turnaround before they return home for a Coppa Italia game.
Here is’s guide to Sunday’s preseason encounter.
