Chelsea and Benfica meet this evening with a place in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup up for grabs.

Despite that slip-up against Flamengo, the Blues emerged from Group D and avoided a meeting with Bayern Munich in this round of 16.

Benfica topped their group ahead of the German giants and Boca Juniors and represent Chelsea’s biggest test so far out in the United States.

Chelsea meanwhile are without the suspended Nicolas Jackson this evening with Liam Delap expected to lead the line again.

Their route to the final has been mapped out with either Palmeiras or Botafogo awaiting in the quarter-finals.
