Chelsea's Friendly in Abu Dhabi: Team News and Lineups
Chelsea to Face Premier League Side in Mid-Season Friendly
Lineups and Predictions for Chelsea's Match in Abu Dhabi
Chelsea will play their only mid-season friendly on Sunday in Abu Dhabi, facing an unnamed Premier League side in a closed-doors match. The match will provide Chelsea manager Graham Potter with an opportunity to assess his squad and make preparations for the second half of the season.
Chelsea are expected to field a strong lineup for the match, with several key players expected to be involved. These include Conor Gallagher, who has been in impressive form for the Blues this season, and Hakim Ziyech, who will be hoping to prove his fitness ahead of the resumption of the Premier League campaign.
The Premier League side that Chelsea will face is likely to be a mix of first-team and youth players. The match will be a good opportunity for Chelsea to get some minutes into the legs of their players and to try out some new tactics.
Chelsea are still on track for a domestic cup double, having reached the fifth round of the FA Cup and the semi-finals of the EFL Cup. The Blues will be hoping to continue their good form in the second half of the season and to challenge for major trophies.
