Can Chelsea Win the Club World Cup?
This revamped Club World Cup is more competitive than ever, and Chelsea will need to be on it from the outset.
Manager Enzo Marescaโs tactical approach will be under the spotlight, as he seeks to stamp his identity on a team that had considered moving on from him at the end of the season, but are now sticking with him.
According to UK betting sites, Chelsea have a chance, but there's a handful of teams ahead of them in the betting, who are more fancied.
They've got some elite players, but if they decide to rotate and manage game time, I'm not sure they have the depth like some of the other teams, and that could be their undoing here.
