Chelsea head into their final group game of the Club World Cup needing a point against Tunisian champions Esperance de Tunis to guarantee their place in the knockout stage of the tournament.
Enzo Maresca’s side have picked up three points from their opening two matches of the competition after beating Los Angeles FC 2-0 in their opening match, before falling to a surprise 3-1 defeat to Flamengo in Philadelphia on Friday night.
Defeat means that Flamengo have already guaranteed their place as Group D winners, meaning the best position the Blues can hope for is second place, which is likely to see them come up against Bayern Munich in the Round of 16, should they make it that far.
The London side had won nine of their last 10 matches, including each of their last four prior to their defeat to Flamengo, and will be eager to get back to winning ways on Wednesday morning and book their place in the knockout stage of the Club World Cup.
Esperance de Tunis head into Wednesday’s final game of the group stage knowing the must beat Chelsea in order to overtake them into second place in the group.
The side from the Tunisian capital have lost only two matches since the appointment of former Tunisia international Maher Kanzari, one in the African Champions League against the eventual runners up and one against Flamengo in their opening Club World Cup game.
NicknamedTaraji, Esperance have won eight of the last nine Tunisian league titles, and made the trip to the United States for the Club World Cup having won nine of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Their 1-0 win over Los Angeles FC in Nashville on Friday night still leaves them with a chance of reaching the knockout stages of the Club World Cup, and know a famous win over Chelsea on Wednesday night would secure their qualification from Group D.
The African side’s win in their second outing shows they are not to be underestimated by Chelsea, who still need a result to book their place in the Round of 16 after their surprise loss to Flamengo on Friday, I think a 2-1 Chelsea win seems most likely.

Both teams to score, Cole Palmer and Liam Delap to have 2+ shots on target each and Mohamed Amine Tougai to be carded – 45/1 with Ladbrokes
Cole Palmer is Chelsea’s leading goal scorer across all competitions this season with 15 goals to his name, and will be expected to have a big role to play for the Blues in the Club World Cup if they’re to progress to the latter stages.
Liam Delap is in line for his second start for Chelsea since signing from Ipswich following the conclusion of the Premier League season, with Nicolas Jackson’s red card opening the door for another start for the England U21 international.
Esperance centre back Mohamed Tougai received a yellow card in his side’s opening game of the tournament and will have to be on high alert to prevent Chelsea from getting through to the knockout stages.
