Enzo Maresca's side head to Philadelphia for matchday two in Group D, with Chelsea coming up against Brazilian side Flamengo, who are managed by former Blues defender Filipe Luis. The familiarity extends to Jorginho, who recently joined from Arsenal.

Flamengo will offer more of a challenge than Los Angeles FC and they currently sit top of the Brazilian La Liga after 11 games, having won seven, drawn three and lost just once.

Chelsea enjoyed a straightforward win over LAFC in their opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, but things should get tougher for the Blues on Friday afternoon.
