Chelsea face the Copa Libertadores champions Palmeiras in the Club World Cup final today.
Chelsea reached the final in 2012 before losing to another Brazilian side, Corinthians, but they come into this one as favourites despite an underwhelming semi-final display in midweek.
The Blues edged out Saudi side Al Hilal with a 1-0 win thanks to Romelu Lukaku, while Palmeiras – the 2021 Copa Libertadores champions – made the final after a 2-0 victory over Al Ahly
Thomas Tuchel is expected to be on the touchline again for Chelsea having missed the semi-final isolating due to contracting Covid-19.
