The 2024/25 UEFA Europa Conference League champions Chelsea will take on MLS opposition Los Angeles in their FIFA Club World Cup opener on Monday.
Chelsea were crowned the 2024/25 Europa Conference League winners after defeating 4-1 Real Betis in the final. They finished fifth in the Premier League 2024/25 table to book their slot for the next season of UEFA Champions League. Boss Enzo Maresca has made some tough calls ahead of the upcoming tournament, signing some new players. Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos could make his first appearance in a Chelsea against Los Angeles. Along with Santos, the new number 9 Liam Delap is in the queue to make his debut for the club.
Los Angeles, on the other side, will arrive in a phenomenal form on their back, unbeaten in their last 10 outings across all the competitions. They are doing strongly well in the MLS as well, currently sitting fifth in the Western Conference and 13th overall. There are few big names involved in the team for the upcoming match, former Chelsea star Olivier Giroud and star Gabonese striker Denis Bouanga among the several others. However, Giroud is not confirmed to get a chance but the dangerous Bouanga is confirmed to be in the lineup.
