Chelsea take on Benfica tonight at Bank of America Stadium, in Charlotte, North Carolina with a place in the Club World Cup quarter-finals up for grabs.
The Blues have somewhat struggled in the tournament so far, edging past LAFC before losing comprehensively to Flamengo and then brushing ES Tunis ahead with a much-changed line-up.
This last-16 clash will present a significant step up in class with Benfica beating Bayern Munich to set up this clash in North Carolina having earlier put six goals past tournament whipping boys Auckland City.
It is the first meeting between these two teams since the 2013 Europa League final, which Chelsea won.
