After over a month, Chelsea fans will finally get to see their team back on the pitch. The last time the reigning Premier League champions were in action was on June 2nd when they powered to a 1-0 win against Australian side Sydney FC. And now, next up on the menu is the International Champions Cup, which will have Jose Mourinho's men beginning their North American tour with a first-ever meeting with New York Red Bulls at New Jersey's Red Bull Arena.
Meanwhile, if the Blues will be coming into this game with many of their players returning from their summer holidays, hosts NY Red Bulls are well in the midst of their domestic campaign. A 2-0 win over Orlando City currently sees Jesse Marsch's side third in their conference, but ninth overall in the league, and they will have been bitterly disappointed to be narrowly defeated in the US Open Cup by Philadelphia Union 4-3 on penalties.
Despite the momentum being clearly in favor of the hosts, who will be making their first ever appearance in an ICC tournament, many have already predicted the visitors to emerge as the winners on Wednesday evening. However, star forward Bradley Wright-Phillips, who won the top scorer prize last season with an impressive 27 goals, is really anticipating the clash against one of Europe's strongest sides as an excellent platform for the MLS side to truly test their skills.
"When you’re playing against a European side, you want to show that we can play too. You want to prove MLS is a good league when you’re playing against those teams," he noted prior to tomorrow evening's rumble.
Will the Red Bulls represent MLS well against a formidable European side? Or will Chelsea commence their International Champions Cup with a win in New Jersey Wednesday night?
