Chelsea vs Real Madrid: Preview, team news, lineups and Kick-off Time

Chelsea faces Real Madrid in a pre-season match at Bank of America Stadium in the United States. The Blues have had a challenging tour of the States as Enzo Maresca begins his tenure. Meanwhile, Los Blancos have suffered defeats in both of their friendly matches this summer.

Real Madrid is looking to conclude their tour of the United States with their first victory as they face Chelsea in North Carolina.

The La Liga and Champions League champions have experienced two losses during their time in the US, including a 2-1 defeat to their Clasico rivals Barcelona in their most recent match. This followed a lackluster 1-0 loss to Milan.

Despite this rocky start to the summer, Carlo Ancelotti is unlikely to be overly worried, as his team has a chance to finish the tour on a positive note against a Chelsea squad that appears to be struggling at the beginning of Enzo Maresca's tenure.

The Blues have managed to secure only one win in their four pre-season matches so far and were overwhelmed by a youthful Manchester City team on Saturday night, with Erling Haaland inflicting much of the damage. As the Premier League season approaches, Maresca will be eager to build some positive momentum.

Location: Charlotte, United States

Stadium: Bank of America Stadium

Date: Wednesday 7 August

Kick-off Time: 00:00 BST / 19:00 ET* / 16:00 PT* (*Tuesday 6 July)

The Blues have received a boost with the return of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, who had extended breaks after their performances in the Copa America. Both players are in the running for starting positions against Madrid.

Chelsea will be missing Cole Palmer and Marc Cucurella, while Conor Gallagher is nearing a transfer to Atletico Madrid. Injuries are sidelining Nicolas Jackson and Axel Disasi.

New signing Filip Jorgensen may get the nod in goal, and Raheem Sterling along with Noni Madueke, who both scored against Man City, are expected to return to the lineup. Streameast Soccer. 

Chelsea predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; James, Badiashile, Colwill, Chilwell; Dewsbury-Hall, Fernandez; Madueke, Nkunku, Sterling; Guiu.

Vinicius Junior made his first appearance of the tour off the bench against Barcelona and is in line to start on Tuesday evening. Rodrygo is also back in action and ready for minutes. Endrick could lose his place up top, though, given his underwhelming start to the tour. Soccer Streams. 

Federico Valverde has not yet returned to Ancelotti's squad after his Copa America exploits, with David Alaba continuing to nurse his anterior cruciate ligament tear ahead of his comeback later this year. Streameast live.

Nico Paz has impressed in the middle of the park and should get the nod against the Blues.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-3-3): Courtois; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Garcia; Paz, Martin, Ceballos; Rodrygo, Guler, Vinicius.
