After their loss to Manchester City, Chelsea will be looking to get back to winning ways as the Blues face Lyon at Stamford Bridge in the International Champions Cup on Tuesday evening. Kick off is expected at 15:05 EST/18:05 BST.
The 2-0 loss to the Sky Blues marked the first competitive defeat for Maurizio Sarri's side, as Chelsea was outplayed and outclassed throughout, and the third overall following penalty shoot-out losses to fellow London powerhouse Arsenal as well as to Serie A outfit Inter in the ICC. In fact, Chelsea has only beaten Australian side Perth Glory since pre-season started, and with the Premier League set to kick off this weekend with a clash against Huddersfield on Saturday, Sarri has a lot of work to do to get his side up and running ahead of the upcoming season.
Belgian duo Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois, who are reported targets for Real Madrid may not feature here as they have just returned from their holidays after featuring in the World Cup with Belgium, but Willian has reportedly expressed his desire to stay put with Chelsea despite rumored interest from Barcelona. New signing Jorginho, who followed Sarri from Napoli could be involved in some capacity to make his debut at Stamford Bridge after featuring at Wembley during Chelsea's 2-0 loss.
As for Lyon, the visitors come into this game having earned a deserved hard-fought 3-2 win over Portuguese outfit Benfica, but ended up narrowly losing 1-0 to Inter. Les Gones will open their Ligue 1 campaign this weekend with a clash against Amiens on Sunday, August 12th.
