Chelsea play Juventus at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium on Wednesday 5 August, with kick-off at 12:30pm BST.

The Blues have played two games on this tour with mixed results: a 6-4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers, featuring a Joao Pedro hat-trick, was followed by a last-gasp 2-1 defeat to 10-man Tottenham as Richarlison scored late in extra time.

Juventus have yet to concede in their own round of summer friendlies, having drawn 0-0 with Basel before beating Standard Liege and OGC Nice in their last encounter.

Chelsea’s squad is slowly taking shape as key players return from post-World Cup breaks, giving Alonso time to tinker with formations and his preferred XI ahead of the season starting in three weeks’ time.

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of Chelsea’s latest pre-season fixture as they take on Juventus in Hong Kong.

Xabi Alonso is still figuring out his best XI ahead of the new season but will no doubt want to win against the European heavyweights this afternoon.
