Chelsea's pre-season draws to a close on Saturday as Frank Lampard's side take on Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany.
With a Premier League opener against Manchester United on August 11 fast approaching, Chelsea are finding their feet with Lampard in charge.
The Blues have won four of their five games this summer - including a 2-1 victory over Barcelona - but the last two results may be a cause for concern.
Chelsea have scored nine goals in their last two outings, but shipped three goals in both wins against Reading (4-3) and Red Bull Salzburg (5-3).
Some of the Blues' attacking play has been a joy to watch with Christian Pulisic and Ross Barkley in sparkling form, but Lampard needs his defence to tighten up if they are to keep Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United at bay.
A chief factor for Chelsea has been the absence of N'Golo Kante due to a knee injury, though Lampard is hopeful that he will be fit for the trip to Old Trafford as he builds fitness.
Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek remain sidelined following their respective Achilles surgeries, while Antonio Rudiger is still recovering from a meniscus issue and Reece James underwent an ankle operation last month.
Willian has yet to play since being ruled out of the Copa America Final with a knee problem.
For Gladbach, German international midfielder Christoph Kramer is set for a lengthy spell in the treatment room after rupturing an ankle ligament.
Predicted lineups
Gladbach XI: Sommer, Lainer, Ginter, Elvedi, Wendt, Neuhaus, Strobl, Cuisance, Benes, Plea, Bennetts
Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Luiz, Palmieri, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pedro, Barkley, Pulisic, Abraham
