Chelsea will look to book their spot in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup with a victory over Palmeiras in Philadelphia.

Chelsea are the only Premier League side left in the competition after Manchester City were dumped out by Al-Hilal earlier this week.

And with Inter Milan also knocked out by Fluminense, Chelsea are also the only European side left on the top half of the draw.

But Enzo Maresca’s side know it will not be plain sailing to reach the final from here and must first get past a Palmeiras side who have impressed greatly so far this competition.

The Brazilian outfit topped their group without losing a game and came through in extra-time against Botafogo to reach the quarter-finals.

Chelsea, meanwhile, finished second in their group but triumphed over Benfica 4-1 after extra-time in their round-of-16 encounter.

The winner of the quarter-final will face off against either Al-Hilal or Fluminense for a spot in next weekend’s final.

The match kicks off at 2am on Saturday July 4 UK time, that’s 9pm on Friday July 4 local time at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

What has Enzo Maresca said?

Speaking prior to the game, Maresca insisted his side would not underestimate the task posed by their opposition and spoke of his great admiration for the Brazilian game.

‘We always respect Brazilian football,’ the Italian said. ‘We don’t need this tournament to respect Brazilian football.

‘At least me personally, I always respect Brazilian football because it’s one of the best country, all the best country in the world in terms of quality, in terms of football.

‘So I really respect Brazil. I don’t need this competition to respect Brazilian football. They show each game here in this competition how good they are. And they’re going to continue also after this competition.’
