Chelsea vs Club America Preview
Chelsea
Chelsea will play their third pre-season friendly on Wednesday when they take on Club America in Atlanta.
Enzo Maresca is still on the hunt for his first win with Chelsea after their first two matches ended in a 1-1 draw against Wrexham and a 1-4 defeat at the hands of Scottish champions Celtic.
Chelsea are still getting to grips with Enzo Maresca’s tactical setup and the style of play he aims to implement. Given the short time the players have been training under the former Leicester manager, Chelsea will still not be at 100 percent.
Chelsea are expected to line up in the nominal 4-3-3 formation, with the right back inverting into midfield. The manager will insist they play from the back and keep patient possession as he tries to hone his style at the club.
Club America
Club America will play Chelsea in the first of their two friendly outings in the U.S., with the second one coming against Aston Villa on Sunday.
The clash against the Blues comes after they beat Juarez 1-2 in the Liga MX-Apertura. They displayed brilliant form to win the match and bounced back from the 1-0 defeat at the hands of Tigres UANL. Club America will be at full strength and will look to give Chelsea a run for their money.
