Match facts
- These two sides have only met once in their history, back in 2014.
- That clash came in this exact same month (July), but only three days separating the date, with the 2014 clash being played on the 23rd.
- John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, and Nemaja Matic are the only three senior players from that 2014 clash that are still at Stamford Bridge.
- The game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Chelsea teenager Jeremie Boga scoring their only goal.
- Having appointed Antonio Conte as their new manager, the Italian coach is yet to win a game with the Blues. This, though, will be only his second game in charge.
Conte looking to bounce back
The former Juventus and Azzurri tactician began life with the London giants with a friendly against Rapid Vienna, but the game quickly turned into a nightmare for Conte, losing his debut game 2-0.
However, the Italian was adamant that the Chelsea players can benefit from the loss, saying (as per Sky Sports):
"I think the game was very important because we can learn a lot from it. It's important to switch our minds to change. The past is not important, we must build through the work of our present and future."
Fans will be hoping that the new Chelsea manager will start racking in the results starting from Wednesday’s friendly, as the club will soon be welcoming back Eden Hazard and summer signing N’Golo Kante.
