Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain meet in the Fifa Club World Cup final tonight.

After winning the Europa Conference League in May, the Blues have rediscovered their taste for silverware.

It hasn’t always gone their way out in the USA – a 3-1 defeat to Flamengo in the group stages threatened to derail their campaign with drama against Benfica in the last 16 stage also keeping them on their toes.

But a very impressive campaign from Enzo Maresca’s side has seen them fight their way to the final where the best team in Europe await.

Six weeks on from their demolition job on Inter Milan in the Champions League final, PSG are still the team to beat having cut Real Madrid to ribbons this week in their semi-final clash.

Luis Enrique’s side did suffer one slip out State-side – beaten by Brazilian side Botafogo in their second group match.

That blip aside, they have been fearsome, beating Atletico Madrid, Seattle Sounders, Inter Miami and Bayern Munich and Real, scoring 16 times and conceding none.

Chelsea team news

Liam Delap is available once again after serving a one-match suspension but Joao Pedro’s wonderful brace against Fluminense will surely be enough for him to keep his place in the starting XI.

Levi Colwill is also available again after his suspension.

Moises Caicedo suffered an ankle injury in the closing stages of the 2-0 win over Fluminense but was able to rejoin his teammates in training ahead of today’s final.

‘Moises is an important player for us,’ said Maresca. ‘He participated in the session this morning and I hope we can have him on Sunday.’

PSG team news
