Chelsea round off their preseason tour against an unfamiliar opponent when visiting Malaysia’s undisputed kings, Johor Darul Ta’zim, for a friendly on Sunday.
The Blues have faced the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus and AC Milan during this summer’s adventure across Oceania and Asia, with Xabi Alonso learning invaluable lessons about his new players. Having started the tour with a bonkers 6–4 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers, the Spaniard will want to bow out with another triumph.
Chelsea were only in action against Milan yesterday, but are squeezing in another friendly before they return home. Johor Darul Ta’zim should be much simpler opponents than the Serie A side.
Here’s how to watch Chelsea take on the reigning Malaysian champions.
