Chelsea are looking for their first pre-season success when they face Mexican outfit Club America at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in the early hours of Thursday morning.

It has been a challenging start to life in the Blues dugout for new boss Enzo Maresca, who witnessed his side struggle to a 2-2 draw with League One side Wrexham before a 4-1 defeat to Scottish Premiership winners Celtic last Saturday.

The Italian is still getting to know his bloated squad and will, no doubt, make changes to his starting XI, although he is likely to persist with his 3-4-2-1 formation despite conceding some sloppy goals last time out.

Chelsea are meeting a side that will have the edge on match fitness because Club America have already played four games in the fledgling Liga MX campaign.

The Blues secured a 2-1 victory when the two teams last faced off in a pre-season friendly two years ago, although just four players from that matchday squad are still at the club which highlights the sheer level of churn since Todd Boehly's takeover.
